    The Bible says: 'Encourage one another'. So many people believe that if there is a God, He could not, should not love. If salvation is possible, that they are 'not good enough to be saved'. That they are unworthy or too sinful. This is a lie of the devil.

    OT – 2nd Samuel 9:1-13 NT – Matthew 5 verses 11-16 Sermon: No dead dogs to God ‘I feel like a dog!’ So someone said ‘How long have you felt like that?’ The answer was ‘Since I was a puppy!’. I know things are bad for many people. None of us and ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 2, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,180 views

    The reality of the resurrection is the center piece of the Christian faith. It means the last enemy has been defeated, Hell and the grave has been conquered, the Law has been fulfilled, the sacrifices completed and the justice of God has been completely satisfied.

    After the week of passion, who would have ever thought that three days later things could change so drastically? The scene at the tomb was the conclusion of an age old conflict. This was the promised fulfillment of God's plan of redemption and restoration. Finally the walls of separation were ...read more
