The One Thing That You Can't Just Watch
Submitted by Layman on Sun, 07/04/2010 - 12:00.
When we're kids our parents tend to shield us from things on TV that we just don't need to be watching. When we become Christians often times there is no one there to tell us how NOT to look at things pertaining to the faith.
Sometimes we can see or hear about the cross so many times that it simply loses its impact. That's because we fail to put ourselves on there with Jesus--that it isn't just something Jesus did for us back then but it is something we live in now. Because we neglect this truth we start forgetting what Christianity is really all about. Listen in as Pastor Cox expounds on Philippians 3, in which Paul discusses his determination to become like Christ in His death.
How to Resist Being Recruited to Become a Dog

It is easy to get so caught up with what you are doing for Christ that you forget to see that it should all come from the finished work of what Christ did for you. If we do not recognize this fact, we're likely to start trying to work FOR salvation rather than FROM salvation.
In this sermon Pastor Justin Cox compares physical circumcision to spiritual circumcision and preaches on the dangers of adding on to what Christ has already done. Paul calls such people, who exalt something other than Christ for salvation and recruit others to their way of thinking, "dogs." It is easy to become a "dog" if you're not rooted and trusting solely in what Christ has done to save you from sin. This sermon is a real "treat" for me. I hope you enjoy it!
The Great Expectation: Redeeming the Language - 29 Jun 2008
Submitted by La-Aja on Sun, 06/29/2008 - 09:00.
The Bible says that when we accept Christ into our life by believing what He did for us on the cross we become a new creation. However, to put it plainly, we've been conditioned by culture and the media to hate our new life in Christ. When we turn on TV or listen to music or watch a movie we're hearing language that defines Christianity in a negative light.
The devil has manipulated the language of Christianity so that we now have a negative view of ourselves in Christ. We believe that Christ has the victory in the war, but that we will lose every individual battle. We have been programmed that when we fall short to accept the excuse that "we're all sinners" and that "no one's perfect" to the point that we've forgotten that Christ died to give us power over sin. We now have a new life. We are no longer slaves to sin. We are now slaves to righteousness. We will only begin to walk in this newness of life once we understand this great grace given to us, which Christ poured out through his death on the cross.
Listen as Pastor Cox begins to expose what the enemy doing to the language of Christianity, and what the Body of Christ can do to redeem it.
