An Envious Heart

Contributed by Alan Smith on Apr 20, 2006

It’s been said that there are two kinds of people in the world -- those who are millionaires and those who would like to be. And that’s one example of jealousy, but it’s only a piece of it.

Introduction: Those of you who are Muppet fans will know that one of Kermit the Frog’s most famous lines is, “It’s not easy being green.” But I beg to differ.

Why Jesus Is The Only Way To Salvation.

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jul 14, 2003

In our modern culture, the way of salvation is under challenge within and without the church. This sermon addresses this important issue.

Why Jesus is the only Way to salvation.
