Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2021

We read of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5:1-20 and the "Legion" of evil spirits that had tormented him until he was freed and redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ. One can only imagine the impact of his powerful testimony.

Solus Christus - Salvation Through Christ Alone Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 17, 2017

Solus Christus is one of the five basic doctrines re-captured after the Reformation. Jesus, the Christ, so saturates the NT that anyone reading through the Bible would be amazed to find that people would think salvation could be found in anyone else!

Please open your Bibles to Acts 4:5-12 which we will read in a few minutes. A couple of weeks ago we took a look at the five “Solas” that were established after the Protestant Reformation came along in 1517. The Latin word Sola simply means something that stands alone, something that is the only ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 17, 2018

The church in Corinth was in a mess. Many of our lives are a mess. Jesus can make a life of eternal usefulness out of a life that is a sinful mess by the "name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God"! Praise His Name forever!

Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

The life of Joshua, of the Bible, is unique in many ways. First, it is unique in that his name is mentioned in the Bible. If God had said nothing about him at all except to mention his name, that would have made him very special.

He was even more unique in that we have a record of his life when he was A YOUNG MAN and also when he was OLD MAN. Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more
