     | 8,514 views

    If the Christian is going to be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God Paul calls us to submit to the governing civil authorities. This sermon looks at what that looks like for the Christian.

    Submission To The Authorities Romans 13:1-7 Read Text: Romans 13:1-7 INTRO: How many of us like to submit? Doesn’t even the thought of submitting or of submission almost repulse us? I know that we have a lot of competitive people in this body of believers. We have business men and ...read more

    Jesus Christ left the splendor of heaven to become Emmanuel. He was sent by God to sacrifice Himself for the Plan of Salvation. Jesus, although God, submitted Himeslf to the Father.

    INTRODUCTION Previously we looked at the calling of Isaiah. His calling was sure and there was a need. When the Lord asked, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then Isaiah answered, “Here am I; send me.” His response was strengthened by the power of resolve. Isaiah resolved to do the ...read more

    Christianity is about a personal relationship with God. It's about a reconciliation between one person, you, and God, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    Christianity is about a personal relationship with God. It's about a reconciliation between one person, you, and God, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It's like a romance, or a close friendship, or a father-son/father-daughter relationship. It's not about ritual or ...read more

    A Christmas Eve meditation on Jesus' preparation for His sacrifice. Jesus revealed His purpose in taking on flesh in this first message He delivered to a small synagogue.

    It’s Worth The Cost

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 3,678 views

    If we are truly going to be Jesus’ disciple, there will be a cost involved. And for those willing to make that sacrifice, God will be able to pour out His power and glory through that person.

    Please turn with me to Luke 14. Sometimes when I say the word “Luke” I want to go all Star Wars! L-U-K-E. (Laughter) The more I spend time in the gospels, the more I see that what Jesus asks of us, He has already had to do Himself. When Jesus taught what He taught, He not only spoke from a ...read more

    Atonement

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Feb 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,831 views

    The word "atonement" is missing from the New Testament in many translations. The NIV does use it three times, two of which refer to the sacrifice of Christ.

    ATONEMENT There is power in words for both good and evil. Solomon tells us: “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Prov 12:18). Jesus warned: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they ...read more

You know how in the Bible, there's a lot of talk about lambs being used for sacrifices? Like, way back in the day, Adam and Eve ...read more

     | 218 views

    The sermon emphasizes honoring and appreciating faithful church leaders, especially those who teach and shepherd, recognizing their unseen sacrifices and vital role in the church’s health.

    There’s a kind of quiet hero God keeps tucking into churches. You don’t always see their names in lights. You may not even notice their names at all. But you feel their fingerprints in the fabric of the family—when the doors are open early and the lights are on; when a casserole shows up at a ...read more

    The feasts reveal God’s salvation plan, prefiguring Christ’s redemptive work from sacrifice to resurrection, judgment, cleansing, and final restoration in God’s eternal kingdom.

    An Examination of Typology, Covenant, and Christological Fulfillment Introduction Few subjects within biblical theology reveal the unity of Scripture as beautifully as the Old Testament feasts.
