Is Your Religion Keeping You From Salvation?

Flintstone Vitamins taste so good and everyone is telling you they're good for you that when you're a kid you might treat them like they're candy. You forget that there is a right way or a purpose in eating the vitamins. This is the same problem that many people in the church have when it comes to good works.

It is so easy to have a religious belief or confidence based on some intellectual knowledge rather than through genuine saving faith in what Christ did. Too often we as humans are inclined to dress ourselves in good works, stop doing some things and think that makes us okay with God. Listen in to this very important message by Pastor Cox on the danger of building your hope on religious practices that may keep you from salvation.


Your Salvation Needs its Own Gym Membership

The Bible says that we are to exercise ourselves toward godliness and that physical exercise is only of little profit in comparison. Well, many Christians may have gym memberships for their physical bodies, but neglect their spirit.

In this sermon, Pastor Justin Cox uses the analogy of spiritual fitness to describe the kind of attitude we need to have when it comes to building up our fear of God and our relationship with Christ. If your spirit is feeling flabby and has put on a few pounds then listen in on this creative illustration of this Biblical truth.


Keep Your Helmet On - 13 Sept 2009

How are you fighting? Do you feel weak? Tired? How strong is your hope? Are you fighting this spiritual war like you're on the winning side or the losing side? Did you know that other people, and God, can tell whether or not you believe you have a chance in this thing?

This is a sermon that anyone who has been a Christian for awhile ought to listen to. It is common for Christians to get so bogged down with Christian activities and duties that we neglect our salvation, then we get beat down by sin and walk away confused. The mind is the devil's playground if it isn't kept by Jesus Christ. The devil knows that this is a vulnerability in our lives and will do what he can to take full advantage of it. In this sermon Pastor Cox discusses the dangers of going through this war without a helmet and even discusses those who wear the "wrong helmet"--those who place their hope in something other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. I've had a few people already talk to me about getting a copy of this sermon because of its immediate relavence in their lives. If you're starting to lose hope, let this sermon inspire you to keep pushing in the grace that was given to you in Jesus Christ alone.

Does Your Life Show You Believe? - 1 June 2008

Most likely you've heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, but you've never heard it like this. 

The Israelites (also known as the Hebrews) were slaves in Babylon when the three Hebrews boys got an opportunity to be more than that.  Most people in this situation would be so grateful for the opportunity that they would do anything to stay in the king's good graces.  However, the Hebrew boys made a resolve to live for God like the covenant was never broken.  Even though it looked like God had forsaken them they still made a resolve to serve only Him.  And they took that resolve all the way into the fire where Christ was right there to protect them.

It was their lifestyle that showed their obedience to God - not their lips.  Listen as Pastor Cox pushes you to look at your life and see if your life shows that you believe in Jesus Christ who will be there to save you too when you forsake fame, notariety and position in this life for a life lived sold out to your Savior.
