Liberty And Grace

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Mar 20, 2023

Does grace mean that we are free to do whatever we want, even sin? Let's see what the Bible says about this in Romans 6.

There is a certain group of Christianity today that says that since we are under grace, we are free to live however we want, even if we live in sin. In other words, grace allows you to live in sin! This has always been a problem, even back during the Apostle Paul’s day. And so, he deals with this ...read more

Amazing Grace

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Apr 22, 2023

Are you flawless, without blemish, perfect in every way? If we will admit it, none of us are. God wants those without blemish. If we are not, how does God accept us who are flawed? It is by His plan through His only son, Jesus Christ, by whom we can obtain Amazing Grace and be seen without blemish.

When I was dating, and I'm sure for you as with me, my significant other thought I was perfect. Is that the way it was for you? Notice my wife shaking her head. The truth, she did; but she will no longer admit it. I knew she was not perfect. I told her so on many occasions. It was something ...read more

The Hand Of Grace

Contributed by David Zachrich on Aug 9, 2023

It isn’t a story about work and wages. It isn’t a story about justice or fairness. It is a story about life in the church when new saints are included with those who have been in faith for a life time. They, too, receive the vast blessings of God’s grace, forgiveness, and eternal life.

Jesus, when speaking about the wealthy owner, said to the disciples, “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or, are you envious because I am generous?’ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Matthew 20:1-16 Friends in Christ, Let’s begin here: The pastor ...read more

The Gift Of Grace

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 25, 2024

Within one body, there are many individual members with specific and unique gifts. Our diversity does not create division or discord; in fact, it adds to the beauty and harmony of the whole. Such diversity within the body is within the Lord’s sovereign design for His church.

The Gift of Grace Ephesians 4: 7-11 As we come to the text today, we must bear in mind the preceding verses. Paul has spoken at length regarding our unity in the Lord. We have been called to walk worthy of our calling, serving and loving one another, while endeavoring to keep the unity of the ...read more

The Grace Of Service.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2024

A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more

Grace And Peace

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Jan 3, 2023

Paul begins every one of his thirteen letters with these words of blessing: “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” It’s arguably the greatest of all the biblical benedictions, but it goes mostly ignored.

Franklin Roosevelt was greeting guests at the White House one evening as they came through the reception line. He disliked this ritual, however, since everyone always spoke their rehearsed lines without actually listening to what was said. So, feeling mischievous that evening and to test his ...read more

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jan 17, 2023

God created every person on purpose and put us in a place to live out His purposes.

Throne Of Grace Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 17, 2021

Jesus became the ‘Great High Priest’ who took on Himself the sins of the world by shedding His blood on the cross for each one of us. Since Jesus is the ‘Great High Priest’, He is now at the right hand of the Father in heaven, interceding on our behalf.

We read in Hebrews 4:14, “Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God…Jesus, the Son of God.” (GNB) We live in a world where it is so easy for us to be ensnared and in bondage to various sinful habits. Outwardly we ...read more
