Learning To Listen Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Listening to God's Word brings us into the kingdom, and it is by listening to it that we grow and become sanctified. That is why Jesus says to the churches in Revelation over and over, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit has to say to the churches."

Benjamin Franklin decided to take stock of him self one New Years, and try to figure out why he seemed to alienate people, and why he lost friends so easily.

The Pauline Privilege Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Bible demands that you be open to the power of exceptions, for only those who are, are open to the spirit of grace. Even under Old Testament law we see examples of exceptions that allow grace to dominate.

Revelation Is Sufficient Series

An English boy went into a store to get change for a sovereign, and the clerk asked him if it was good. The boy said, "Certainly it is good. I saw my father make it just this morning." The clerk, of course, refused to take it. Money, like truth, has the shadow of suspicion cast across ...read more

The Greatest Conversion

Grace From Galatians (1 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The churches in Galatia were being influenced by those who would "pervert the gospel of Christ" (1:6-7; 3:1). Known as "Judaizing teachers,"

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Paul asked WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE HIM TO DO, and the Lord told him, “…Arise, and go into the ...read more
