Separating The Wheat From The Chaff

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 19, 2015

The Holy Spirit gives us the assurance that we are believers. As Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God”. Only then can we have the inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit.

Ruth The Risk Taker Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

Ruth and Naomi aided each other in being responsible for love. They took the risks necessary to see each other have fulfilled lives. The story has a happy ending because they took this responsibility of risks on themselves. In every story with a happy ending somebody has to take risks.

Preaching Where Christ Is Not Known Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 31, 2014

To many, Christianity is such a personal thing; they don’t want to share it. They have a ticket to heaven and don’t really care whether anybody else goes to heaven or not. We’re using first aid on ourselves, when there are hurting people all around us.

INTRODUCTION For almost two years, I have been preaching through the book of Romans. We are coming to the last words of the Apostle Paul, and we get a glimpse of the missionary heart of this great Apostle. The problem with many American Christians, and perhaps some of you in this room, is that ...read more

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on May 2, 2014

We learn three truths as we consider our Lord's dialogue with Simon Peter when He asked, "Who do you say that I am?"

Knowing Christ comes from the revelation of God - v. 17 Many today say they know who Jesus is. But what they say ...read more

Calling Upon The Lord

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 23, 2005

The Apostle Paul lists out peace as one ...read more
