    The God Of Christ Paid Back

    Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Dec 14, 2014
     | 2,630 views

    Christ Jesus saved but God warns those who sin of the lake of fire and scripture tells us that Christ Jesus will judge. It is right for Christ Jesus to judge us since he saved us (God saved us through his Son Christ Jesus).

    THE GOD OF CHRIST PAID BACK by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (December 14, 2014) “And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all ...read more

    Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,482 views

    We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

    In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

    Enjoy Life In God’s Family!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 28, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 785 views

    God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have saved us and now welcome us into the family of God. That’s a powerful point for us to take with us this Trinity Sunday. We are sanctified by the Spirit. We are children of the Father. We are siblings with the Son.

    “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.” That’s how the creation account in Genesis 1 describes God’s decision to create human beings. And then on the sixth day of creation week that is exactly what he did. Of course, Genesis 2 gives us more detail about the “process” that God went ...read more

    Extreme Love

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,160 views

    Jesus calls us to an extreme love, to even love our enemies. He calls us to lay down our rights for revenge, and shows us that God has already given us that kind of love, while we were God's enemy.

    Luke 6:27-36 Extreme Love [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] Today’s passage is a tough one; that’s why I chose it, so I could better understand it myself. Is Jesus saying we are to give in to bullies? Is he taking away our right to self-defense? Is the ...read more

    “i Have Fallen But I Refuse To Stay Down!”

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 16, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,155 views

    The problem for so many of us is we are looking backward in our relationship with Jesus, instead of forward. We tend to focus on the stuff that tripped us up and knocked us down. We focus on what we did that caused us to lose hope and feel abandoned.

    “I Have Fallen BUT I Refuse to Stay Down!” Lk 22: 60, 62 & Mth 27: 5 Did you know that EVERY one of the disciples of Jesus fell down? Jesus told them, on the night He shared the “Last Supper” with them in; [Mat 26:31 NIV] “…"This very night you will all fall ...read more

    Paul assures us that if God went to such effort to save us when we were his enemies, how much more will God continue to save us from his wrath now that we are God's children. This should cause us to rejoice!

    The Rescue: Alive By Grace Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 12, 2025
     | 222 views

    This sermon explains that because of His great mercy and love, God rescued us from spiritual death by uniting us with Christ in His resurrection and enthronement, saving us by grace through faith alone, in order to make us His masterpiece, created for good works.

    Introduction Last week, we ended our time together in a very dark place. We used the analogy of a shipwreck, leaving us spiritually dead, floating helplessly in a sea of sin, captive to the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil, with our certain destination being the just wrath of God. ...read more

    Choosing Forgiveness. The season we are in at the moment is advent. Advent kinda means anticipation - expecting something.
