    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,063 views

    Sinners Saved Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,969 views

    The good news of the Gospel is that sinners can be saved. The apostle Paul held himself up as the example of the worst of sinners who had been saved by the grace of God. If he could be saved, then anyone can be saved!

    Introduction: A. Let me begin with an example of one of those commercials whose message seems too good to be true: “Picture a man…he has a bright smile, healthful glow…he is holding up a pair of gigantic blue jeans. 1. He says, ‘These are the jeans I used to wear before I lost 200 hundred pounds on ...read more

     | 3,224 views

    The Apostle Thomas is responsible for some of the greatest facts the Lord gave on earth. We owe much to Thomas. Here his life is examined and those wonderful pillars of our faith that proceed from what Thomas asked and said. Is “doubting Thomas” really justified?

    THOMAS THE DISCIPLE – THE HIDDEN GEM OF THOUGHT CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – Message on Thomas PART 1: Not a great deal is known about the disciple Thomas.

     | 1,832 views

    The modern view of marriage is the idea that you are going to find “the one” who is going to fulfill all your dreams. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    The unimaginable happens. Peter denies his Lord. Peter should not have been in the court in the first place, and certainly not with the enemy, warming himself. Peter led himself into temptation. Failure can teach us valuable lessons and we look at overcoming temptation

     | 3,158 views

    God is beyond our comprehension as our limited three-pound brain cannot fathom his true nature. He has always existed and is the ultimate ruler of everything. Therefore, he does not rely on any created thing to sustain him, but everything that exists must depend on him for its continued existence.

    Paul began chapter 2 with a command to all people to make prayer a priority and to do so by praying for everyone with all kinds of prayer. Then in verse 8, he gave a specific command to the men to lead the congregation by lifting up holy hands in prayer.

    Life circumstances may not be ideal where we are. We may be struggling. Perhaps we feel that we could serve the Lord more effectively in a better situation or different location. But God wants us to bloom where we are planted!

    James Oppenheim said, “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet,”(1) and this is what the Lord wants every believer to understand. We’re supposed to find fulfillment and contentment right where God’s placed us, and to bloom where we’re planted. An ...read more
