    What is it that shows evidences of faith in our lives?

    Tonight’s passage is a fairly short passage and is really a very simply passage, but it pictures one of the great lessons of the gospel and that is the evidence of faith. We are still in chapter 4 of John verses 43-45. Jesus has just challenged us to open our eyes and look because the fields are ...read more

    What stages do we go through to be fully faithful?

    Tonight, we will finish up chapter 4 of John. We’ve now gotten away from the story of the woman at the well.

    The gift of salvation is the door opened to a relationship with God for people who know they’re separated from God and don’t want to be.

    The country once called Zaire is gone. It’s hard to believe how fast it happened, isn’t it? The suffering has been terrible, but 7 months is an incredibly short time for a civil war to begin, run its course, and end, especially a country the size of Zaire. I mean, the Republic of Congo.

    Clinging To The Faith

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 2, 2022
     | 771 views

    What is it to have mercy? What is it to have guilt? No doubt we have at some point felt that we are no longer to be forgiven for some sin or transgression. But then there is something called faith.

    In verses 12-13: Is it not wonderful to know that Christ has reached down and forgiven us from our sins, and then to call us into a ministry, no matter what that ministry is? Look at Paul and what he was before he came to know Christ as his Savior. He denounced the teachings of Christ, and he ...read more

    A Measure Of Faith Series

     | 5,893 views

    When asking God for faith, we are correct in identifying that we need faith, or that perhaps we’re experiencing some kind of spiritual problem. However, we don’t need “more” faith. What we need is the faith already allotted to us.

    Our message for this evening is entitled, “A Measure of Faith,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that’s sometimes called, “Faith and Duty.” Have you ever felt inadequate in your relationship with God, or perhaps in your ability to bear spiritual fruit? Have you ever felt that you don’t ...read more

    I think the most important question of our lives is that question… WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? How can I be confident that when I die, my sins are forgiven, and I have the promise of living eternally with Christ?

    Faith Acts 16: 25 – 32 The apostle Paul was thrown into jail for preaching about Christ in the city of Philippi. He and his companion Silas were beaten and then chained to an inner dungeon.

    Hebrews 11:6 tells us "it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him."

    Justified By Faith Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 2, 2022
     | 1,991 views

    God reconciles people unto Himself through faith which shows three things: 1) The Need for Justification (Romans 3:18-20), 2) Justification apart from the Law (Romans 3:21-23), and finally 3) The Means of Justification (Romans 3:24-25a)

    Romans 3:18-25a. 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”. 19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified ...read more

    Do you trust that God will make ALL things right if you surrender to His will? Do you have “righteous faith” … a faith based on your trust in a “righteous” God? Good!

    [This is part of a series on Reinhold Niebuhr's prayer "The Serenity Prayer" (long or full version). This sermon is based on the line, "trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will."] Abram and Lot stood on the ridge and looked out over the ...read more

    Contend For The Faith

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 3,008 views

    When you hear the word “contend,” what comes to mind? An ugly fight? A heated argument? These are negative connotations, but contending can also be a very good thing, and that’s exactly what we see in the book of Jude.

    According to verse 3, Jude’s purpose for writing this letter was to encourage these Christians to contend for the faith. But what does that mean? Why should we contend, is it really necessary? And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more
