    The Table . . . A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a  simple table is really a blank canvas?

    The Table Pt. 2 - Table Manners I. Introduction I don't know what your home was like growing up, but in my house we were taught table manners.

    If it is important to understand our spouse’s preferred love language so we can dispaly our love for them effectively, how much more important is it that we understand and express our love to the Lord according to His preferred love languages?.

    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,234 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more
