The Amazing Power of Faith – Audio Sermon – June 11, 2017
God calls His people to believe Him. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, that as many as would hear Him would be saved – not just as a one-time major believing to be followed by a life of less than such faith, but for life! But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. – Heb 11:6 The following touches on big-picture principles, pertinent scriptures, and practical pointers for those wishing to live a life pleasing to God, bearing fruit, with joy and peace, and so much…

The Love of God
In a time when information is so available, this message on love might go in one ear, out the other, but that would be an abomination if so, for it cost the Blood of Jesus Christ to make true. God is love, and He who dwells in that reality gave the life of His Son that we all might know and love with the love of God. It is to be a witness and testimony that no human endeavor can possibly manufacture. It is to be of God, for God, and to His glory in a life which He would freely share with those who will hear and love Him.…

Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 3-4 May 19, 2017
This is a recording of a study and commentary on 1 Cor 3,4. It continues from the study on 1 Cor 1,2. There are realities perceived in this natural world, and there is God’s reality.

For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? – 1 Cor 3:4 The Corinthians were declared “carnal.” We are called to know God and let the new man, the…

Bible Study Romans 6 – May 17, 2017
This audio recording touches on highlights from Romans 6. Romans 6 tells of what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross. The Father includes us who are His sheep in Him (1 Cor 1:30.31). Our “old man” in Adam is crucified. The “knowing” (Rom 6:6) is a definite, certain, revealed type of knowing that is a level above mere head knowledge, or understanding. Head knowledge never saved anyone, and so it is for the truth of Romans 6. We are emphatically and repeatedly told we are “dead to sin,” “alive to God,” “free from sin,” no longer a “slave of sin.” While Romans 6 has been taught…

Faith That God Prizes – Sunday May 14, 2017 – Audio
Although this recording took place on Mother’s Day, it focused on a topic that is of importance year-round to our Father – Our Father in heaven, that is. This topic is faith, which is needed to activate the blessings of the gospel, which in turn is the power of God unto salvation. Rom 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Faith is a mystery. Some say human beings can not exercise any faith unless the Holy God who draws us enables us to…
