Fullness Of Time PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Jan 24, 2024

This sermon explores God's perfect timing in sending Jesus for our redemption, transforming us from slaves to sin into His children and heirs.

In this world, we often find ourselves in the dark, grappling for understanding and ...read more

Slavery Is Freedom Series

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Sep 4, 2007

Since everyone is a slave—either to sin or to God—it’s best to choose the slavery that gives the best results.

The Issue: “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!” (v. 15; see v. 14). If God loves us whether we sin or not, then why not continue to sin just as much as we please? God saves people not by law (through works) but by grace (through faith). To live ...read more

Who should be leaders of local churches? Let's examine this in Titus 1.

Did Paul describe himself as a slave of God? Was the church’s faith based on the hope of eternal life? Are the qualifications for elders in Titus similar to those in 1 Timothy 3? Do our works speak well of us? What is sound doctrine? What kind of good works does salvation exhibit in us? Do ...read more
