1.20.13 – "WALKING BY FAITH"

3.10.13 – "LOVING OTHERS"
One of the ways we love God is by loving others. When the world seeks for true Christianity, they look first for a loving spirit among brethren. The great challenge of life is to love others the way Jesus loved us.
3.17.13 – "BUT HE LIED"

Being in Christ and his kingdom contains a value greater than all others. When one counts the blessings of being a child of God, one quickly sees that being right with God is worth every sacrifice.

5.12.13 – "FOR ME PERSONALLY "
Our society is in a state of moral confusion because people tend to regard sin as relative to a person’s beliefs. They say, “You might think this is wrong, but for me personally I think this behavior is okay.” Have we forgotten what God thinks?
5.19.13 – "THE “MUSTS” OF CHRISTIANITY"
The little word “must” is often forgotten in today’s religious society, but the New Testament uses the Greek word for “must” nearly one hundred times. Christianity makes demands on us, and there are things we must do.

The heart is the window of the soul. When the heart becomes hardened or enslaved to sin, we need a new heart that can love God and serve Him. Many people today need a change of heart, and the path to that change is knowing God.

6.9.13 – "THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP"
While God freely gives us salvation, discipleship demands everything. To be a disciple of Christ, we must put Him first; but the privilege of discipleship is worth every sacrifice.
6.16.13 – "THE NEW COVENANT"
God predicted through the prophet Jeremiah that He would establish a new covenant with His people. Jesus established a new covenant with His blood that opened the door for all people to enter into a relationship with the Lord.

God has spoken to us, through His Word, a message for all time and all places. The Bible is the final authority and sufficient to teach us all we need to know in order to follow the Lord Jesus. We take the Bible for our authority, and the Bible alone.
7.28.13 – “DO NOT GO BEYOND”
The apostle Paul urged the church at Corinth not to go beyond the things that are written (1 Corinthians 4:6). When people go beyond Scripture they go into unauthorized territory and lead people astray from the truth.
