Crucified & Risen

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 31, 2013

Paul tells us that having received Christ as Savior, he was crucified with Christ. Can you say that? Do you understand what that means? It’s more than just saying “He died for me”. It means so much more to be crucified and risen.

Crucified & Risen with Christ Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021

Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

Last week’s sermon, Pt.1, “Saved from what?” was hard to listen to. It was a 100% true, but it was a difficult topic to explore. There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

Doubting The Resurrection Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Apr 4, 2022

Why do we doubt about the resurrection? All Scripture references is from the NASB.

The resurrection is central to the Christian faith and without the resurrection of the dead, we have no hope.

A popular Greek belief 2000 years ...read more

Mrs. Zebedee has received a bad rap. Perhaps it is all right to ask for great things for our children--if it honours the Master.
