     | 5,581 views

    To show by SM (secret message) that what we have obtained like eternal life and great favors all came from GOD's Divine effort and no human effort was made to get or obtain it. Why this verse? Because it has a signature of the Aleph-Tav.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you blessed and have great favors? Yes, it's all because of JESUS. Ephesians 2:8-9 (Amplified Bible) 2:8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And ...read more

    Boasting In The Cross

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,863 views

    By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

    In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus ...read more

     | 13,235 views

    We need to fight the Christian warfare with the armaments God has provided us, to use these skillfully, and to use these as a unit.

    The Whole Armor of God: An Exposition of Ephesians 6:10-20 This morning’s passage has been the source of many a commentary, some of which are very detailed. It has also been part of many Vacation Bible Schools. I can think of children donning plastic suits of armor or coloring the Christian ...read more

     | 4,342 views

    To show that the LORD will choose the weak (blemished people) to remove all his blemishes before His Presence. Therefore all believers will glory only in their weaknesses and infirmities to bring glory to GOD.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you blemished? Yes and No. 1 Corinthians 1:27 (Amplified Bible) [No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. Isaiah 1:18 (Amplified Bible) Come now, and let us ...read more
