    Millions of people consider themselves to be Christian. Many believe they have converted to Christianity, but is that the case? Just because some may call themselves Christian and have their names written on a church membership list, does that guarantee that they are converted Christians?

    The Truth about Conversion India has six major religions – Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Sikhism, where Hindus form 80% of the population and others are minorities. There are also States in India with majority populations of other religions like in J&K, where we have a ...read more

    The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,245 views

    Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

    MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

    The answer to life’s meaning is not within us; it can be found only in a relationship with God. This sermon parallels & compliments Rick Warren’s "Purpose Driven Life" (ch.1-7) but is not a rehash. It takes the theme and looks at it from a different an

    Do you believe there are forces around us, influencing our lives, which are battling for control of our world? This sermon makes the case that spiritual warfare is very real, and that at the end of the day we all serve one side or the other, whether we want to admit it or not.

    INTRODUCTION Do you believe in spiritual warfare? Do you believe there are forces around us, influencing our lives, which are battling for control of our world? It sounds sort of conspiratorial doesn’t it? It sounds like something that drives the plot of a movie, or maybe a sensationalist blog ...read more

    Christians can stink it up just like anyone else. And being around a Christian who is full of pride, anger, and self-righteousness has a pretty bad stink to it. But there is a way to get rid of that smell. There’s a way out of the tomb.

    August 10, 2008 – Do We Stink? The story of Lazarus. (Jesus is our Life) Smell, just one of our five senses; but a very powerful one. Smells can remind us of many things.
