    What The Bible Says About Things That Accompany Salvation Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 30, 2012
     | 8,251 views

    One misleading notion that has stopped the spiritual growth of countless Christians is the idea of salvation is a termination point rather than a starting point. It is almost as though some people, when they are saved, look back on that experience and sa

    A sermon developed especially for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

    Main Idea – God so loves people that what starts out as a cell He wants as a child. Every one of us would agree that one of the biggest mistakes in life can be addressing the peripheral issues but not addressing the deeper items. And it can happen in almost every area of life. For example, ...read more

    The Christian life does not end when we say, "Yes."

    John 21:1-19 “He Lifts Me Up” By: Rev. Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN As you know, we lost a dear saint this past week—Emmett Hart. About 6 weeks ago or so, and I think it was the last Sunday Emmett was able to make it to church... …a seemingly healthy ...read more

    What Would God Say About Handling Injustice? 1 Peter 3:21-25 INTRODUCTION: Don’t you just hate it when you suffer unjustly?

    Physical walls and Spiritual walls. Which, if either, do we work on the most?

    Many years prior to Nehemiah’s time, the Northern Kingdom had been conquered and many were taken captive to other lands. The conquering nation introduced prisoners from other lands, which led to intermarriage with the few Israelites. This blending of the races produced the people known as the ...read more

     | 3,860 views

    Study 4 of a series setting out Christian Belief in Jesus as God.

    The J.W`s say that nowhere in the Bible do you find any statement that Jesus is God. They are wrong. The Bible says that Jesus is God right through the Old Testament and on to the end of the New. In these next studies I intend to show that very clearly. Let`s look at the claims of Jesus. a) I ...read more

    Giving generously, beyond a tithe, is promoted by Jesus. In fact, He absolutely promises that if we give generously we will receive abundantly, even beyond measure.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus "Give . . . & It Shall Be Given You" Luke 6:38 In 1968 a Harvard college student by the name of Kent M.

    God meets us in our hidden, ordinary places, calls us by His name, and transforms our weakness into strength through His presence and grace.

    Some days feel like threshing wheat in a winepress—hidden, cramped, and far from ideal. You’re just trying to get by, head down, doing what needs to be done, praying the storm will pass. Maybe that’s you this week. Bills piled high. Criticism louder than courage. A heart that’s willing but worn. ...read more

    The Paradoxical Sayings Of Jesus: Lose Your Life To Save It Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,858 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more

    Is The Entire Bible Inerrant And Divinely Inspired In Everything It Says?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 14, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,038 views

    One of the foundational pillars of the Christian faith is the claim that the Bible is the inerrant and the divinely inspired Word of God.

    Throughout history, people have ridiculed the idea of biblical inerrancy and do not believe it to be free from error or untruths or culturally appropriate today. To the faithless, the Bible is simply another fallible book written by imperfect humans. Within the pages of the Bible, it is written, ...read more

    Jesus gave His disciples and us a model prayer to help us figure out how you talk to the God of the universe.

    September 2, 2001 Mat. 6:9-13 “What do I say when I pray? INTRODUCTION I am not a talker by nature. Some people just bubble over with things to say.

    what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

    In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine. Should Christians eat meat from animals that have been offered first to pagan deities, and can they take part in a dinner party the host dedicates to a god or goddess? Doesn’t it seem peculiar, ...read more
