    This is the 24th sermon in a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at Jesus' claim to divinity by His statement "I am the Light of the World."

And We’re actually going to jump down to verse 12, and not read verses 1 through 11 this morning.

    Husband And Wife Series

    The submission to authority can be totally consistent with equality in importance, dignity, and honor. Peter carefully observed that wives are called to submit to their own husbands and not to all men in a general sense.

    Husband and Wife - 1 Peter 3:1-7 Introduction: “The Lord is good and his love endures forever. “ I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1.

    How Can I Be Saved?

    Contributed by Naveen Balakrishnan on May 18, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,137 views

    This is the most pertinent question being raised by a world today. While it looks to the outward, God clearly mandates that it is possible only in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    “How Can I Be Saved?” Romans 10:9 A. It begins with CONFESSING Jesus Christ as LORD. (v. 9a) That if shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD Jesus Romans 3:23; 6:23; 5:6, 8, 10; Matthew 10:32-33; Luke 12:8; John 9:22; 12:42-43; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:2-3, 15; 5:1; 2 John 1:7 ...read more

    We long for peace in our world, in our communities, in our families, and even in our churches. Real peace is a condition of the soul, not our outward circumstances.

    We long for peace. We want peace in the Middle East, Europe, and in Korea. We want peace in our land. We are troubled by scenes of people buying gas masks, duct tape, and plastic. We are even more troubled at the sight of a toddler taking out her pacifier to put on a gas mask. We long for peace in ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,335 views

    In our last installment of this series on The Beatitudes we looked at "hungering and thirsting for righteousness." Showing mercy is the outward expression of the inner hungering and thirsting after righteousness.

    Blessed are the Merciful The Beatitudes Matthew 5:7 #5 of 8 in Series INTRODUCTION While walking home from school, Mark noticed the boy ahead of him had stumbled to the ground and dropped everything he was carrying.

    OUTWARD FAITHFUL SERVICE. INWARD BLAMELESS DEVOTION. Not some RELIGIOUS, SELF RIGHTEOUS, SANCTIMONIOUS FAKE LIFE but a life that honours God from the inside out.

    People who have a heart for the true God observe the outward trappings of Biblical faith, but they put the focus loving and knowing God by internalizing His Word.

    Scriptural Baptism

    When are we commanded to baptize. According to Matthew, it is after they are taught. Baptism is an outward sign of the work that has already taken place in our lives by the Lord.

    The Great Commission of evangelizing the world was given to the New Testament church. Jesus didn’t say anything that he didn’t mean. Our job is not complete until the convert is baptized. Baptism is not a secondary doctrine to be argued about. I. Baptism Part of Great Commission 1. Matthew ...read more
