Salvation Is By Grace, Not By Deeds

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 11, 2016

God’s peace and power can only be experienced when we say no to ourselves and our ambitions and yes to God. God sacrificed Jesus for our sins, so it is only fair for us to make the sacrifices we have to make to love God and show that love to the world.

The Theology Of The Cross

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Mar 27, 2021

God works under opposites in order to help mature us in our faith so that we might appreciate even more the miracle of His love. And that love is truly miraculous.

The Theology of the Cross God sometimes does not work in the ways which we would expect our God to work. Sometimes, He does not always give us what we want. Sometimes, there are moments in our life where God seems so far away. We pray to Him and nothing happens. We look at God to intervene in our ...read more

Heads Or Tails

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 8, 2009

The old argument between Paul and James, faith or works, is really two sides of the same coin. Both are needed for a church’s life to be whole. Preached on a Sunday when members were asked to sign up for various ministries.

The funny thing about arguments is that two people can use all the same information and can come out on exactly the opposite ends of the argument. Two different people, just because they are different personalities, can read the same data, hear all the same pros and cons, examine all the same ...read more
