    So many Christians are trapped in the sin cycle, never experiencing victory but understanding what the Bible tells us about this cycle is a necessary step towards experiencing total victory over sin.

    Jer.31:3 - I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

    We Americans like to think of ourselves as independent people but we never can truly be totally independent. In the spiritual world we are slaves in the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of light but the motivation is entirely different!

    Independence? - There Ain’t No Such Thing Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

    Holiness of the believer is a Biblical topic that seems to have been almost totally obscured by the false teaching of "cheap grace." Are Christians actually supposed to be "holier than thou"?

    “Follow Me” The second paragraph of Untied States Declaration of Independence begins with these words; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the ...read more

    An Ode To The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,456 views

    This section has been called an inverted dirge, beginning with celebration, but ending in tears. This shows just how totally the Psalmist is engaged with his subject. In truth, it is a celebration of the Word of God, and of the God of the Word.

    AN ODE TO THE WORD OF GOD. Psalm 119:129-136. Psalm 119:129. Reason to keep God’s “testimonies”? Because they are wonderful. Indeed, the Word of God is a ‘wonderful’ thing, full as it is of an extraordinary supernatural wonder! The Psalmist engages not just his “soul” but his whole man to the ...read more

    One definition of serving is “the ability to engage in practical deeds of kindness for the benefit of others.” Thom Rainer wrote, “A servant mindset is totally counterintuitive in our culture today.”

     | 1,405 views

    “Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

    Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.
