“saved By God’s Grace Alone” Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jun 2, 2013

God has always been reserving, saving and preserving a "remnant"; an understanding of the words used in Scripture are helpful in understanding how God works in salvation. An understanding of God's Choice helps those who are saved to see how God SAVED.

Blinded By Darkness

Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014

We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

The Cleft Of The Rock

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017

The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more
