    "Our Victory In Christ” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 24, 2019
     | 9,976 views

    The cross of Christ is the eternal basis for our victory over sin.

    One of Paul’s favorite phrases to describe our relationship with Christ as believers is “in Christ.” When we’re born again through faith in Christ, Jesus comes to dwell in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. So, where I am, Christ is, aware of everything I encounter, because He’ll never ...read more

    In this sermon, we witness Abraham falling back into the same sinful pattern of lying and we are forced to wrestle with our own struggle against sinful habits that are hard to break.

    Introduction: A. Several elderly nuns were on the second floor of their convent one night when a fire broke out. 1. When the nuns realized the fire was blocking the exit, they took their habits off, tied them together to make a rope, and climbed out the window. 2. After they were safely on the ...read more

    The failure of legalistic Christians

    A. INTRODUCTION For the church to stand independently, the Jewish past had to be eliminated, yet its contribution respected.

    Stay Alert And Pray SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,100 views

    Stay alert and pray, so that you won't fall into temptation. Being alert enhances our prayers, as every enemy we identify pushes us to pray more fervently. Furthermore, being alert is a form of prayer. If we are truly alert, the act of watching itself becomes a prayer.

    In the Bible, Jesus instructs his disciples to "Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation" (Matthew 26:41, NIV). This command holds great significance for believers today. By understanding the importance of watching and praying, we can overcome temptation and live a victorious ...read more

    True faith stands firm through life’s storms when built on obedience to Jesus, who alone provides the unshakable foundation our hearts need.

    Friend, storms don’t make appointments. They don’t text ahead, and they don’t knock politely. They gather on the horizon and muscle their way into our Mondays. A pink slip on a Friday. A diagnosis on a Tuesday. A call at midnight that drops you to your knees. And there you stand in the downpour, ...read more
