Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 18, 2024

Part 1 – Galatians 4 verses 21 – 23 We come now to the latter part of chapter 3 and the continuing evidence why Christians are not under Law but walk by grace through the promises ...read more

A Word We Must Hear Series

Contributed by Steve Salmon on Jun 19, 2002

Jesus’s message is one we should listen to because history tells us that God does what he says he will and Jesus has gone to such a great extent to give us the message.

“A Word We Must Hear” Hebrews 2 SICC 6/16/02 (Morning) Some messages we intuitively know we don’t have to listen to. “No Standing” signs for instance. Is there anyone here who has not left his car at in a no standing zone – just for a minute? There are definitely some places where you know ...read more

The Choice For Life

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 5, 2001

Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

Jesus was a wonderful teacher. He had the knack of making His teaching on the Kingdom of God interesting and easily understood by the use of graphic pictures. There’s a good example of this in two verses in our reading from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount: "Enter through the narrow ...read more

How To Build A Faithful Nation

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 24, 2007

When will Israel learn to trust God? Raising a faithful generation will take more time and more pain. God shows us, Egypt and Canaan are poor places to learn faith.

Four times it occurs reminding Israel that God has brought them out of Egypt. Eight times it occurs when ...read more

Rahab - Living Without Fear Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 25, 2010
