This week, Tom Bedford teaches us what it truly means to be converted to Christianity. Together, we look at the idea that being a church attender who agrees that the Bible teaches good morals, does not necessarily create Biblical faith. The Bible teaches that while these things are good, we need to go further and believe in Jesus at a heart level to produce a life change. Salvation is a matter of...

In this week's teaching, Jeff Delong explains how salvation comes through what the Bible calls grace, and it is not a result of our good efforts and right doing. Click Here For Notes Support the show Find more content at bolcf.org

What do the scriptures say about these things? All of these que...

Romans chapter 5 begins a large section of scripture where the Apostle Paul focuses on the core ideas of the Gospel. He lays out the doctrines of Justification by Faith, Standing in Grace, and Rejoicing in Hope. As he wraps up this section of the book, he clearly focuses on the idea that we live In Hope. The Apostle explains that we are in labor with all of creation in the “pains of childbirth.” W...

In this message, we look at the New Testament book of 1st John, chapter 5, verses 1-4.
