    This sermon seeks to communicate the truth that all persons are responsible to acknowledge and know God and to refuse to do so leaves one subject to the wrath of God being revealed in their life rather than receiving the righteousness that comes from God

    Paul has made his point that he is proud of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation. It provides deliverance from the penalty of sin (death) and freedom from sin’s power over us now (it no longer masters us). For in the gospel he points out that a righteousness from God is ...read more

    based on 1 rating

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 8, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,796 views

    Since the first century, every Born-Again Christian has a desire to draw closer to God through prayer and worship because the Holy Spirit occupies their spirit, mind, and body.

    Prayer is part of the daily sanctification process by the Holy Spirit to prepare us to meet Jesus face-to-face when we leave this world and enter eternity (John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:16-21). Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 6,758 views

    God wants Christian husbands to be gentle initiators and Christian wives to be confident responders. Yes, this often – though not always -- makes for a better marriage; but it is first and foremost God’s revealed will.
