    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 29, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,470 views

    "Grace is giving or receiving something that is needed but not deserved." That definition fits beautifully into many places where the word "grace" is used in the New Testament.

     | 2,012 views

    The greatest gift we can receive is the gift of salvation. But God's gift giving does not end there. God provides us with gifts that enhance our lives and build up the body of Christ, the church.

    What Is Our Purpose? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,387 views

    If we do not know the Lord’s purpose as a church, then we can’t plan for success; and thus, we will see no results in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. This passage shows the five purposes (five E-words) designed for every church.

    This morning, I want us to think about our purpose. The word “purpose” is defined as, “the reason for which something exists or is done,” and “an intended or desired result.”(1) Based on the definition of the word “purpose,” we can see how we need to consider the reason why we do certain things, ...read more

    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2023
     | 1,526 views

    We continue to look at Satan’s schemes, and this time, at the resuscitation of Sodom and what homosexuality does; and at affirmative equality and not ability; and children being ruined in education; and how a nation can be undermined. Also demonic possession, influence, and oppression.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 3 This is a series where we examine some means by which Satan has made inroads into human activity. It might be surprising to hear that we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, but the bible says that, and this is an attempt to explore that ...read more

    Let God Be God

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025
     | 51 views

    When denial dies and we stop playing God, repentance opens the heart to mercy, and grace restores joy that guilt once stole.

    There is a certain kind of silence that settles on the heart when we finally stop pretending. Not the silence of defeat, but the quiet that comes when we realize we were never meant to carry the whole world on our shoulders. When we stop trying to be God, something in us exhales—and God can ...read more
