Often Christianity is attacked as being nothing more than an intellectual religion, while others attack it for being too mystical. But true Christianity is the correct blend of both the intellect and the heart, the objective and the subjective.

God sifts His church using many tests, including false teachers. Sifting is a test of faith and perseverance is to pass the test.

Worldliness is not always what we think. One can be very religious and at the same time worldly. Is it possible that American Christianity has devolved into an unbiblical hybrid that tries to mix Jesus and the world? Please listen to discover if you are infected with the spirit of the world.

The Christian life is not static. We are meant to grow, but grow into what? We are to conform to the image of Christ but was does that look like? In this message Michael Durham shares the three stages of the journey to spiritual maturity.

The Apostle John gives a second test of faith--the test of love. Charged with being legalistic, John responds that the love of Christ is in those who are His. It is this love that conforms them to the righteousness of the law and motivates them to love their brothers and sisters.

The doctrine of assurance of salvation was near and dear the heart of the Apostle John. Some have identified the epistle as a treatise on the doctrine. While that is debatable it is a repeated theme. Do you possess assurance and is it biblical assurance? This message will distinguish between a true and false assurance.

The gospel of Jesus Christ remains to be the only hope for mankind. This message brings the amazing work of Christ to the heart and mind.

How is it possible that a sin-flawed person can obey God to the degree that the Apostle John would say he or she would walk as Jesus walked? The hope is not in the believer but God.

Our reluctance to discuss sin has led to an unbalanced Christianity. As Pastor Michael Durham says in this sermon, "the church’s refusal to talk about it has not helped but worsened the situation. We have the answer to sin, but because of our unwillingness to talk about the problem, the solution we talk about doesn’t make sense. A Savior without sin is senseless." Sin is a big problem but thank God we do have a "Remedy."

If you know God, the result will be you will know sin. The reason sin has been nullified by this present evil generation is because it does not know God. Listen and discover a biblical doctrine of sin.
