    The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 1 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025

     | 590 views

    We begin our study of The Judgement Seat of Christ, a wonderful event, but at the same time, a daunting one. I want to open up this three Part study to look at as many aspects I feel are relevant. The Bema is for rewards, not condemnation. Please be about the Master’s service!

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 1 OF 3 [A]. THE INTRODUCTION In the first half of this study on Judgement we studied The Great White Throne, a frightening and difficult study to do. We come this time to a whole new picture in judgement as we centre our thoughts in heaven. ...read more

    The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025
     | 355 views

    Above all things God wants faithfulness. Rewards attach to a faithful servant. God is a God of small things and in quietness and confidence is our strength. We look at the quality of works and the testing by fire. To not make the mistake of “TRYING to do” for a reward as that is wrong.

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 2 OF 3 In the last study we opened up this subject to see both the joy and seriousness of it. This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

    Sin will keep us from reward and that is looked at. A problem considered – What happens about unconfessed sin at the Judgement Seat of Christ? I suppose in conclusion, we should have our lives tidied up, work for Christ in love, not a desire for reward. The Lord bless and keep us all!

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 3 OF 3 This is the vital passage regarding the Judgement Seat of Christ:- {{1 Corinthians 3:10-15 “According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it, but let each ...read more

    In order to become a Christian, a person must hear the gospel, believe in Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit—all of which happen together at the moment of genuine faith.

    Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026
     | 223 views

    As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.
