    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 14, 2019
     | 3,727 views

    A shorter sermon about the difference between having true belief versus just thinking you have true belief. Interesting illustration about a pendulum.

    Take an empty cola bottle sometime and fill it half full of water. Then, take some vegetable oil and fill it the rest of the way. Then try to shake it with all your might so it will become all mixed up. What happens? The moment you stop shaking, it begins to separate from one another, doesn’t ...read more

    Fresh Revelation? Rhema Versus Logos

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,857 views

    This message explores what the Bible says about new/fresh/special revelations and the perceived differences between 'Rhema' and 'Logos'

    I often hear people say one of two things about the revelation of the Bible: that God speaks to them, or they wish God would speak to them. Those who say God speaks to them often pull the 'god card' to validate and justify something they have done, a message they have given, or the way ...read more

    Pelagianism – Works Versus The Gospel Of Grace

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,156 views

    There are many within Christianity who may unknowingly deny God’s free and eternal gift of salvation by requiring a well-meaning, but a misdirected emphasis on adhering to the Law.

    There is a belief, known as Pelagianism, that has lingered in the church for over 1600 years, which does not accept that the sinful condition of humankind was inherited from Adam and Eve in the Fall (Genesis 3). It is the belief that motivated the ministry of Charles Finney, who is known as the ...read more

    The beliefs we must commit ourselves to when facing suffering are: 1. God is good, even when life is bad. 2. God can redeem the evil that comes into our lives. 3. We must do the right thing, even when it does not seem to pay off.
