‘THIS I KNOW!’ It all comes down to a choice … a choice that no human being can make unless they are first born again by the Spirit of God! Most people believe there is a “tension” between God’s sovereignty in salvation and man’s responsibility. In order to resolve this supposed dilemma people imagine that God does everything He can do and…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons on Ephesians (Page 2)
“Wisdom to Live By!” Clearly, there are many verses and passages in God’s Word that speak about conflict and how to resolve it in a way that honors the Lord and brings peace among those who are struggling to be reconciled with one another. God knows what causes conflict and He knows the path to reconciliation … after all, He sent Jesus…
“Wisdom to Live By!” Lying causes all kinds of problems. Everyone knows that! Yet for those without the Spirit of God and faith in Jesus Christ, lying seems at times more convenient or easier than simply being honest and telling the truth. Even those who are born again and in whom the Spirit is working can be deceived by the old nature…
“Wisdom to Live By!” God knew what He was doing when He created Adam and Eve. He was creating the core unit for His people, for society, and ultimately for the Church, Christ’s Body. In creating Adam and Eve, a man and a woman, God created the “family unit” that would produce children and be responsible for their training to become servants…
“You Are My Witnesses!” Spiritual growth lies at the very foundation of the ministry of the true Church. While many believe the mission of the Church stops at “making disciples,” Jesus instructed those He sent out to “teach them to observe (obey) ALL” that He had commanded. God’s message to the Church throughout the New Testament is to pursue spiritual maturity, to…
“You Are My Witnesses!” True “faith,” what the Bible means by “faith,” is unique to those in whom the Spirit of God is at work. While virtually all people have “faith” in something, even if it is in themselves, the “faith” produced by the Spirit of God in those whom God has chosen to be His is distinctly focused on Jesus Christ.…
“You Are My Witnesses!” In a world where anything Christians say is considered “judgmental,” many are convinced that the most loving thing we can do is just be quiet and let people do what they are doing. Telling people they are sinners and that they deserve God’s judgment may as well be considered “hate speech!” And yet, it is this truth that…
“You Are My Witnesses!” Talking about the love of God without talking about the grace of God makes no sense. If God loves people who are, by nature, “loveable,” then grace is not necessary. This is the thinking of most people who imagine a loving God who treats everyone the same and who showers His love and blessings on people indiscriminately. This…
“The Six Marks of a Disciple” God speaks often in His Word about the importance of serving others. Jesus emphasized to His disciples that serving others was a large part of what it meant to be one of His disciples. He used Himself as the ultimate example, saying that He came into the world “not to be served, but to serve and…
“The Six Marks of a Disciple” Perhaps you or someone you know has said, or at least thought, “I don’t need the church!” People who say that have usually had a negative experience in a particular building with a particular group of people. Some have had multiple “bad experiences” that have left them scarred and disillusioned. After all, who needs more frustration…
