A New Way Of Living Series

Contributed by Thomas H on Oct 4, 2010

"Would you like fries with that?" is what we hear whenever we go to McDonalds. Some people think Christianity is like that - that we can order salvation but holiness is an optional extra. Here Paul tells us that holiness is not an optional extra to the

Entire Sanctification Defined

Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016

So many within the HOLINESS MOVEMENT (non-charismatic), ORTHODOX METHODISM, and WESLEYAN-ARMINIAN Churches (and, sometimes educational institutions) struggle with understanding, appropriating, and teaching BIBLICAL HOLINESS.

ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION DEFINED (Leviticus 19:1-2) “…the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.’” Entire Sanctification is a term we hear; and, often ...read more

Story Of My Life Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jul 8, 2017

Story of my life. It is the phrase that you never want to say. As Paul writes Romans 7, we hear him sigh and say, "Story of My Life." As we look deeper at the chapter, we see that it is the story of our lives too!

A Deadly Virus

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2010

Sin is not excused by good works, and unrepentant self-indulgence is destructive. Sexual integrity is not just a private matter; how we handle it will determine what happens with our church.

This has the potential for being the shortest sermon I’ve ever done. At first glance, it seems all I need to do with this text is to praise the church for doing so well, declare myself to be against sin, and wrap it up. The shortest sermon I’ve ever done, and maybe the shortest on record! Anybody ...read more

What makes sin serious is not that we sin, it is that we sin against God. To truly know God is to understand the severity of our sin.

I spent a lot of years angry at God. I was so angry that there came a point that I decided he was a fable, he did not exist, he was a crutch for the weak who could not handle the troubles of life. I took every opportunity to prove to others they were living a lie. That was until the faithful ...read more
