Simple Truths for Life

In the book of James in the Bible, he points out that words don't mean much if we have the ability to do more. And this week, Charles Tapp continues his series "We Come This Far By Faith" by explaining that faith by itself...without substance to back it up, doesn't always amount to very much. With part 2: The Work of Faith.

It's not easy to be thankful when you're in the midst of trials. But as Charles Tapp explains today, living by faith is more about having hope for the future than fixing your current situation. And he begins a series of messages "We've Come This Far by Faith" that will go deep into what living a life of faith should look like, with part one, "A Walk of Faith."

God doesn't want you living in darkness, and in fear. This week Charles Tapp explains you have the chance to step out of whatever darkness you may be walking in right now, and step into God's light. As he shares his message "Have You Seen The Light?"

This week, we celebrate the Advent Season by taking a closer look at the child whose life's purpose was to come and set us free, and why it still holds so much meaning for us today, as Charles Tapp shares his message, "Born To Save."

God has a reward planned for those who remain faithful, and do the "right thing" in this life. But, if that's the case is God rewarding us based on our efforts, or are we truly saved by grace? It's a question Charles Tapp unravels this week as he shares his message "The Gospel of Reward."

The act of forgiveness doesn't always come naturally, so why is it something we all so desperately want in return? This week, Charles Tapp continues with the next installment in this series of messages that takes a close look at why we should be ready to forgive those who have hurt us, with his message "The Gospel of Forgiveness."

It says in Scripture that we're to be thankful in all circumstances. But does God really expect us to give thanks in every situation? Even when we don't see anything for which to be grateful? Charles Tapp examines what God really expects of us and how to live a life full of gratitude with his message "The Gospel of Thanksgiving."

God's grace is a response to our sin, and this week, Charles Tapp shares a new installment in his messages titled "The Gospel Of" by helping to unravel the misunderstandings of what grace is and isn't...and just how remarkable it truly is, with his message "The Gospel of Grace."

Today, Charles Tapp challenges the church to rid itself of the ideas of self-indulgence, and to be willing to step out in faith to trust God in the face of challenges, as he shares this message "The Gospel of Me."

Today, Charles Tapp concludes this series, "Going Deeper...Reaching Wider: Experiencing the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit" by asking if there is anything we could do to ever cause the Holy Spirit to leave us, and therefore, not do the transformative work in our lives, with his message "The Departure of the Spirit."
