What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

    The Laser Light Of The Gospel Series

     | 3,144 views

    The New Covenant Gospel is not a competitor with God’s plans for Israel, but there is a difference between the Old and New Covenants: The Israelites became part of the Old by birth, we become part of the New Covenant only by second birth.

    Choices Luke 23:32-43 Life is full of choices, we make some everyday. We choose to get up; we choose what we will wear, what we will eat and what we will do for the day. We choose right or wrong everyday. Isn’t amazing how two people with very similar backgrounds can make totally ...read more
