Do You Recognize The Messiah?

Contributed by Kevin White on Dec 4, 2000

This is a sermon for communion that points to where our focus should be in all circumstances.

Sermon 03 December 2000 Luke 24:13-35 Do You Recognize the Messiah?

Essence Of God #3 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jun 23, 2005

We don’t come to an understanding of who God is to become a Christian. We become a Christian because we have accepted, by faith, God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ – even though we do not understand who God is.

To have even a surface understand of God’s redemption, we must understand the person of God. The ONLY place we can access the information needed to gain such an understanding is in the Word of God. Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9 ...read more

Dead People Can't Change? Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jul 23, 2005

Many Believers are falling into one of Satan’s oldest tricks. They are allowing what is very clearly declared and known from Scripture to be held captive by what they, personally, don’t know.

Over time, questions are expressed whether as a direct inquiry or by many other means. Some of these questions have a direct effect on our Christian life, our Bible knowledge and the church function. Because our series on Redemption has been interrupted by vacation, and other things, I thought it ...read more

Essence Of God #5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Aug 12, 2005

Tragically, our limited human reasoning concludes that -- If God is a God of absolute justice, then He must be sitting up in heaven waiting to clobber us. That would have some validity, However, among those qualities of God’s essence, is also Love.

God’s plan for the human race has been and always will be redemption. This plan of God was in place even before God formed the world on which mankind lives this temporal life. It is important to know and understand this fact, not only to understand the person of God, BUT also to have a proper ...read more

Essence Of God #6 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Aug 18, 2005

A father said to his rebellious son, “Everyone in the USA is a privileged person.” The boy replied, “I disagree!” The father said, “That’s the privilege. You are free to reject God’s provision, but that will not change the fact of the sure consequence."

In the study of God’s plan of redemption for mankind, we must start with a very basic concept. That concept is..: It is God Who provides the redemption and it is humans who receive the redemption. This must NOT be “Basic Theology 101”, because very few people START their study at this ...read more

God said, “Go down to the Brook Cherith and I’ve told the ravens to feed you.” “You told raven to feed me. Yea, right!!!”, would be the response of most of us, AND maybe that’s why our names are not in the “Hall of the Faithful Ones”.
