    Receiving God’s Grace

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,050 views

    There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

We are now going to consider the quenching of the Spirit in fuller detail. {{1Thessalonians 5:19 “Do not quench the Spirit.”}} (NASB) Here is a ...read more

    Jesus sees not merely what we are, but what we can be. Peter was transformed from an unstable, weak, and impetuous man to a man who was rock solid for Christ.

    Why did Luke include the mention of Apollos in his narrative at this point?

    “Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.” Whether it was intentional on Luke’s part or just a by-product of the meticulous manner in which he gathered information and compiled it in his letters to ...read more
