Sermons on Wasting Away:

An Easter Way Of Seeing

Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 18, 2016

Eternal Life Comes From Feeding On The Cross

Suffering Reduces Sin Series

The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025

Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

“You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more
