    When it comes to the area of tithing, the issue often boils down to faith in God’s promises versus unbelief in His promises. This sermon, sermon 2 in the Prove God Stewardship Series, helps us trust God and step out by faith in the area of giving.

    Fear in the United States is the biggest reason that one out of every four Americans are on some kind of tranquilizer because they want to deal with the symptoms of the fears instead of facing the things that are causing the fear.

    PRAYER Father, open my eyes to see Your Word. Open my ears to hear. Open my mind to understand. And open my heart so I may receive Your Word today. AMEN I don’t think anyone would argue that there is a fear factor in the day and age we are live in. Let me explain that statement. All around ...read more

    Christian truth stands up to all criticisms from science, philosophy and religions. Either the Bible is the true inspired Word of God or the Bible is a book of fables and fairy tails.

     | 5,062 views

    We put a high premium on our experience in life. This limits us and also prevents us from the greater experience and reality which Jesus calls us to enter. Peter was "experienced" in fishing. But Jesus would take him beyond his experience. Us too.

    You are talking to someone about something, something that you know is true with all of your heart. And right in the middle, of making your most convincing point, they stop you and they say those words that bring a sudden end to all discussion. “ That has not been my experience!” They say. ...read more

    One of the greatest truths ever taught was that our lives was a compilation of all the decisions we make, both good and bad. But sometimes we make decisions that have cataclysmic impacts to our lives. Need to examine your direction.

    Monday of the 3rd Week of Easter Verbum Domini The breaking in of the Word of God into the closed-in Jewish culture of the first century was heavily resisted by the Jews.

    Let’s avoid the mistakes the Judaizers made and focus our thoughts on Paul’s history lesson in Galatians 3:15-22. We will observe the solid, historical fact of justification by faith alone in contrast to the perilous fiction of justification by works.

    It is our attitude, not our sacrifices, that reflects the nature of the man within.

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:1-8. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that “almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). Yet ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024
     | 74 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more
