    Of all the things God could have chosen as the road to salvation. Why did he choose Faith?

    Why Faith? Romans 1:13-19 for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by ...read more

    Saint Nicholas

    It is more important to know why St. Nicholas did good deeds than to know the whole legend.

    December 3, 2006 Galatians 6:2-5 Good afternoon ---- I am happy that you are here. My name is Nicholas and I am the Bishop of Myra in what is now the country of Turkey.

    The proper beginning place to discover where we came from and why we are here is not in evolution, but in Genesis.

    In The Beginning God Created Genesis 1:1 By Dr. R. Bruce Montgomery Introduction • Where did we come from? • How did our universe around us come into existence? • When and how did animate life begin? • Why are we here? • Are we merely the products of chance, or is there a purpose and plan behind ...read more

    When God Makes You Wait

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 11, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,033 views

    Why does God make those who are trying to serve Him wait indefinitely for Him to answer?

    - Luke 1:5-7. - Zechariah was a priest, an insider. - Elizabeth was also of Aaronic descent (v. 5), so they were the insider family. - They were both righteous people (v. 6). - But they were childless and old (v. 7). - Now, we know that God has a miracle in the form of the birth of John the ...read more

    Why don’t most Christian experience the abundant life Christ promised in John 10.10?

    What Happens When I Believe? #19 I have life abundantly because Jesus is the Life (John 10.10) If a friend or relative came up to you this week and asked, "what is life all about?" how would you answer?

     | 11,954 views

    Why does it seem that sometime we are just existing instead living for Jesus? That is our theme in this message.

    Introduction: I’d like to begin this morning by asking you a question. Are you living or existing? It seems that many times in our lives we are merely existing instead really living life for what its worth. We get up, go to work or school, or we begin our daily routine, whatever it may be and ...read more

    Why does a successful church do what it does? Is it because they do everything right... or is it something else?

    Setting forth the reasons why the child of God is to rejoice in our past, our present and our future.

    THE COMMAND IS TO REJOICE! “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Philippians 4:4 In today's world there is much to trouble the hearts of God's people. Sin is rampant and dedicated Christians are often chided for standing firm for the Word of God. But the Word of ...read more

    Feeding On Christ

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,376 views

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

     | 4,080 views

    A shocking survey result from a recent Barna demands that we reassess why evangelism is so essential.

    A SHOCKING SURVEY RESULT: In a recent Barna survey, nearly half of practicing Christian millennials said that evangelism is wrong. - Matthew 28:18-20. - After more than 20 years of being a pastor, it’s rare than I read anything that makes me say, “Whoa.” I’ve read too many “debased culture” ...read more

    Why is Jesus' post Resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene one of John's four post Resurrection stories

    TSJ and TSL 22-07-2018 A touch from the Risen Lord If John’s Gospel had finished with Chapter 19, it would not be something special. All biographies generally end with the death of the person who is the subject of the book. Imagine if it had been with the Gospels. The chances are we would ...read more

    Is It Possible That Christians Are Not Sinners Saved By Grace? Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 29, 2018
     | 4,473 views

    This message takes a somewhat detailed look at Romans 6 and answers the question "Why do Christians sin?"

    Many Christians believe they commit sin because they are still sinners. But the real truth is this: Jesus freed us from the power of sin. So why do Christians commit sin? That’s the focus of this month’s teaching letter. Let’s begin in Romans 5 with verses 12, and 19 through 23. (12) Wherefore, as ...read more

    In order for us to worship, we must know what worship means. That helps us understand the why

    We are coming into the heart of our worship series. This is crucial for us as a church to understand. It is my belief, that the American Church lost its identity, especially when it comes to issues of worship. We are in trouble theologically and spiritually when it comes to worship. So, I want to ...read more

     | 3,734 views

    Is anger always wrong? This message looks at why we get angry and how we respond to that anger.

    If I asked you to think of an angry person, I would suspect it wouldn’t take very long for a particular person to come to mind. Don’t look around. Maybe your boss, or a stranger that you’ve never met, but you’ve witnessed their anger, maybe it’s someone you are close to, perhaps a parent or a ...read more
