     | 4,738 views

    How do we know that God is serious when He gives us all these promises? In the first chapter of Ephesians alone we have seen a multitude of blessings which God has said He has already given us. How do we know it's really true?

    Ephesians: Our Identity In Christ Part 3 Sealed By The Spirit Ephesians 1:13-14 13. In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14. who is given as a pledge of our ...read more

     | 3,467 views

    Have you been drawn away from God’s will for your life, by the appeal of the side-roads? Have you been led down the path of sin or disobedience to the perfect will of God? It will surely end in serious loss, mischief, maybe physical death, but worse in th

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,791 views

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

     | 14,884 views

    Someday, we will find ourselves in a storm just as serious as Paul faced here, but we can look into the Word of God and find out what to do: 1. Try to miss the storms. 2. Try to manage the storms. 3. Trust God to take us through the storms.

    A Problem That Happened - Is Salvation Something To Be Lost Because Of Sin? (Part 2 Of 3) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 30, 2026
     | 120 views

    Sin in a Christian’s life is not just serious – it is controversial for some. We are looking at the teaching that says a Christian in wilful sin is cut off. We consider a sin unto death, conviction, repentance, guilt, restoration, the shepherd’s rod and staff, and Satan’s continuing accusations.

    A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED - IS SALVATION SOMETHING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF SIN? (PART 2 of 3) The troublesome aspect of losing one’s salvation reared its head in a meeting and unsettled people when one was promoting this idea of “wilful sin” leading to being cut off and losing salvation. It is ...read more

     | 1,033 views

    We all know what happens to one who is betrayed. But what happens to the betrayer? What ramifications does the betrayer await? In this message, I will reveal hidden truths about just how serious God takes betrayal and his judgment against those who have betrayed you.

    What ramifications can one expect when they betray someone? We all know the pain and heartache a person who HAS BEEN betrayed experiences, but what does that act do the betrayer themselves? Having recently gone through a betrayal myself, I believe, by the grace of God, that I have the answer to ...read more

    In the spiritual battle we are called to be those whose lives are in solidarity with the life of Jesus. Are we going to live as He wants us to live? Or are we going to live with our own purposes in mind?

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,580 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Change Agents Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 2,135 views

    Salt goes into the body. It is necessary, and good, and contributes to the health of the body. It changes the body – for a time. But for lasting change to occur something has to go into the mind and heart as well. And that is where light comes in.

    How many of you keep a watch on how much salt you eat, buying the low-sodium versions of things like canned soup and cold cuts and avoiding high-sodium treats like pizza and potato chips? It’s an article of faith that salt is hazardous to your health. And it’s very difficult to avoid, since most ...read more

     | 6,377 views

    Peace is not a state of mind, but a condition of the heart. The heart is the throne room where peace resides. When our heart is out of kilter, we will miss peace.

    GOD’S PRESCRIPTION FOR PEACE © 2001, Dr. Roy Mason Colossians 1: 21-29 In the midst of a stressful life, most people are looking for peace.

    You’ll recognize stinkin’ thinkin’ when you allow God to transform your mind. He’s a tranformer, not a conformer. How about you?
