We continue our series from the last two weeks on salvation, considering Paul’s statement that saved people are “His workmanship,” and that we have been saved “unto good works.” His Workmanship

A continuation of last week’s message, we consider the “flip side of the coin” in the conclusion of Jesus’ interaction with the Rich Young Ruler. While salvation is impossible with men, all things are possible with God! Indeed, He saves us by His grace. All Things Are Possible

An interesting exchange of words took place between the Lord Jesus and a character know as the rich young ruler, as recorded in the gospel accounts. The young man mistakenly believed in salvation by good works, and Jesus absolutely tears down that false premise in a very powerful way. How then are sinners saved? Well, … Continue reading "Impossible"

After such a climactic end to the gospel accounts, you might wonder “what could possibly be next?” In other words, to the early disciples, how could life be anything but mundane after such a phenomenal experience? But that was hardly the case! Invigorated by Jesus’ defeat of death itself, the disciples spent their lives obeying … Continue reading "What Next?!"
