    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,811 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). We may feel that this is unnecessary: if we are ‘called ...read more

    A simple, but memorable sermon for Ash Wednesday.

    INTRO Ash Wednesday — it’s kind of a solemn day. It’s the start of Lent —a word which means “spring” in German. But more than this, it’s the time each year when we intently focus on the path Christ Jesus laid out for us to follow — to be true to ...read more

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    "Why Sit Here Until We Die..." By Dr. Winson Butler

    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,995 views

    "Impossible" is a word found only in the dictionary of fools. Though leprous they weren’t fools. The story of four leprous men is a remarkable demonstration of God’s grace. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction The city is suffering. Things have gotten seriously desperate. The enemy is just outside the city walls. The enemy has ample provisions and plenty of patience in hopes that those inside the walls will either surrender or die of starvation! Economic inflation isn’t the worst of it. ...read more

    based on 1 rating

    The Bible is full of lessons that many opportunities can not never be achieved while sitting doing little. Many are waiting for someone else to get up and do something while they hold the key to the other side.

    “Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?

    SHALL YOUR BROTHERS GO TO WAR WHILE YOU SIT HERE? Numbers 32:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man & woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up & out of the ...read more

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more
