United In Christ

Contributed by Daniel Haas on Jan 5, 2009

Our human relationships are fallible, with limited forgiveness and limited grace. They last for a maximum of a lifetime. God’s covenant with us is totally different yet a great example for our relationships.

Eph 1:3-14 United in Christ -"I give myself to you to be your husband. I promise to love and sustain you in the covenant of marriage, from this day forward, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, as long as we both shall live." - Marriage, the greatest vow one can ...read more

Following Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 22, 2009

When we consider what Christ desires from us we feel uneasy. Our relationship with Him affects all our other relationships ... For some of us these demands may seem too hard to achieve. We are afraid of whole-hearted obedience to Christ will cost us.

Seated With Christ Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 13, 2014

If we want to live the life God designed for us to live, we must remember where we came from, realize where we are today, recognize how we got here - purely by God's grace.

The Claims Of Christ

Contributed by Scott Spencer on May 24, 2014

How do you respond to the claims of Christ? Do you question His right to your life? Do you assert your own rights over him? Or do you humbly surrender to Him and submit to His will? We must all see the importance of being responsive to Christ and the danger of being unresponsive.
