The Main Thing

Contributed by Cleveland B. Bishop on Sep 6, 2011

“The Main Thing” is a sermon which assumes you have placed your faith in Jesus the Christ as your Savior & Lord and eagerly desire to live a life that is pleasing to God. It is also for those who want to know what true Christianity is really all about.

THE MAIN THING C. Bishop For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous). 1 John 5:3 (AMP) I want to impress on your mind that God says we ...read more

Needful Things

Contributed by John D Jones on Sep 7, 2011

Life is complex but Jesus narrows all of our Christianity down to one needful thing. True worship is like oil in the lantern -you can burn without out it but you cannot sustain the fire.

Needful Things Luke 10:38-42 Text: Verse 42 This chapter, like every other chapter in the life of the Lord Jesus, is overflowing with activity.

There Is No Such Thing As Free Will

Contributed by R. Escoanyelin Ortiz on Dec 2, 2011

There is no such thing as free will.

There is no such thing as free will. When Adam was created he had freedom of choice. But after the fall, man's will became the slave of sin! According to the Bible we were the enemies of God!

All Things

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 14, 2010

Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

At the very center of the Christian faith there is Christ. That sounds self-evident: it seems obvious. But we keep forgetting it. We keep on trying to live without a center. Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more
