    A debate has raged for centuries regarding salvation. Is salvation an act of grace, obtained through works, or the result of a combination of grace and works? The Bible is clear regarding this question.

This debate was central to Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses being nailed to the chapel door in Wittenberg, Germany, sparking the Reformation.

     | 270 views

    You are on Satan's sifting list. Every believer must pass through the sifting process as God gives the devil permission to test his children.

    TEXT: Luke 22:31-34 (NLT) “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail.

    Hope Shines Through Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 1, 2022
     | 2,928 views

    Out of the most desperate situations God is able to do a work of hope. The Messiah is a shoot from the stump of Jesse. From a stump God will raise up a ruler and king. Not just any king but the greatest the world will ever know, the Messiah, King Jesus.

    In what way would you describe the almighty power of God? One way would be to picture a forest. A giant comes along something like “Paul Banyan” who walks through swinging a two sided axe and chops down trees with each swing. It would be like swinging a cycle in a field of wheat. The imagery is ...read more

    The Passage Through The Night

    Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Nov 4, 2024

    THE PASSAGE THROUGH THE NIGHT (by brother Tarran Dookie) WHENCE CAME DARKNESS AND THE NIGHT? Gen 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the ...read more
