Joyful Saints Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

A saint is not determined by what they are, but by where they are. If they are in Christ, that is the bottom line. The degree of holiness varies tremendously, but all who are in Christ are equally saints.

Roger Fredricksen, a well-known pastor in my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, wrote a book titled God Loves The Dandelions.

Sanctification Of The Saints Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 24, 2018

Sanctification is a process through God’s grace by which the believer is separated from sin and becomes dedicated to God’s righteousness.

(17) Sanctification of the Saints The concept of sanctification is not well understood, even in Christian circles, and I don’t hear it preached on today. However, it is in both the Old and New Testaments; Paul especially had a lot to say on the subject. I have always believed that the best way ...read more

A Greeting To The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 16, 2018

At times the church faces challenges from without, but often the greatest danger may come from within. If we are to combat the struggles associated with false doctrine, we must be settled in the Word.

A Greeting to the Saints 2 Peter 1: 1-2 This second epistle of Peter is very similar in tone and intent to the second epistles of Paul. In large part, the second epistles were written to follow up on the first, and particularly to combat apostasy and false doctrine. Having written the first ...read more

The Judgment Of The Saints

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2014

What will it be like when we as followers of Jesus Christ stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? What about the books that will be opened and the Lamb's Book of Life? Will the Lord be honored by what is in the books or will we be humbled?

A few weeks ago we took a look at the do’s and don’ts of judging others on earth whether they are Christians or not. Two weeks ago we looked at the certainty of the judgment that is awaiting those whose faith and trust was not in Jesus at the time of their death. Today we’ll be ...read more

Some kids were outside at recess playing on the school playground, as kids do. And, as kids do, they began teasing one another. But the thing is, kids, you know, when they’re teasing, don’t always have a good understanding of how far is too far. And so, these kids start to pick ...read more

The Identity Of The Saints Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 18, 2019

THE IDENTITY OF THE SAINTS I CORINTHIANS 1:1-9 INTRODUCTION: D.R. Davies, In Search of Myself, said, “I found myself in finding God.

The Guidance For The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 21, 2018

As believers, we experience complete transformation in salvation, and yet our salvation experience is an on-going process. We are saved wholly of grace, but that does not absolve us from responsibility in our Christian walk.

The Guidance for the Saints 2 Peter 1: 9-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the conversation we began to consider a few weeks ago. Clearly, Peter is writing to the church – to those saved by grace and added to the body of Christ. While we are not saved by works of the flesh, service ...read more

The Growth of the Saints 2 Peter 1: 5-8 Following his introduction and reminder of the glorious benefit of salvation, Peter immediately extended a challenge to the believers who would read this letter. While salvation is an act of God’s marvelous grace offered to those who are underserving, ...read more

Suffering Saints

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 20, 2022

Suffering is hard to handle. It is easier when it is us going through it and not our loved ones, but it is still hard.

Suffering is hard to handle. None of us like it. Usually, we can handle it better in ourselves than having to watch friends and loved ones go through it. We were just like our children, and we ask why not only for ourselves but for others. If they're not careful, we try to inform others why ...read more
