The Reality and Necessity of Grace. This lesson gives a good explanation of "grace," and explains that the definition of the word is more than the simple "unmerited favor" explanation given by many preachers. The lesson goes on to demonstrate the necessity of grace in our lives (File size: 56k).

The Relationship of Grace to Law. Some have erroneously argued that grace and law are mutually exclusive, i.e., if you have one you cannot have the other. This lesson gives an excellent explanation of "justification," based upon Paul's teaching in the Roman letter (File size: 56k).

Salvation by Grace. This lesson points out that numerous factors are involved in our salvation, including faith, repentance, confess, the blood of Christ, the gospel, grace and baptism.

Reconciliation. Sin separated man from God. Alienated from Him, if man were ever going to be in fellowship with God, reconciliation would have to take place. This lesson considers reconciliation to God by examining what 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 reveals about it (File size: 48k).

Ingratitude. Of all people, Christians should be the most grateful for they have the greatest blessings. Sadly, some who claim to be disciples of Christ are guilty of the sin of ingratitude.

The Conversion Of The Multitudes. This outline is a study of the conversions of multitudes of men and women in the early days of Christianity following the establishment of the Church on Pentecost. The numbers of converted went from a thousands, to ten thousands, to innumerable multitudes in just a short while. Why and how were so many converted? This lesson answers that question (File size: 150k).

The What And How Of Conversion. Conversion is arguably one of the most important subjects of Scripture when considered from the perspective of man’s needs. Jesus said, “Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.” This sermon addresses this need in a straightforward and persuasive way intended to show men what conversion is and how it is accomplished (File size: 141k).

Things Morally Right, But Religiously Wrong. Many people equate being moral with being a Christian. However, morality alone does not constitute the religion of Jesus Christ (File size: 126k).

The Conversion Of The 5,000. The second recorded sermon of Peter which resulted in the conversion of above five thousand men, and that in the face of severe public opposition. This lesson examines the details of the conversion process and the kind of preaching that will effect conversion today (File size: 141k).

The Blood Of The Cross. This lesson explains the significance of the expression “the blood of his cross” in Colossians 1:20 and emphasizes the necessity of the death of Christ for the remission of the sins of the whole world (File size: 103k).

Five Essentials For The Lord's Work. What would you cite as the great problem in congregations today? Moral issues? Marriage, divorce and remarriage? The list could be endless. One of the greatest problems is a lack of work and this lesson explains five characteristics of heart that every Christian must have to be an effective worker for the Lord (File size: 48k).

The Garden Tomb. The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is strong and credible. This lesson approaches that evidence from the perspective of the empty tomb challenging and answering the ridiculous theories that have been offered by unbelievers and skeptics as an explanation for the missing body of Jesus of Nazareth on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary (File size: 116k).

The Conversion Of The 3,000. This lesson is a study of Acts chapter two emphasizing the details of the conversion of the 3,000 on Pentecost. They were the very first people who ever heard the gospel and became Christians. If there are any Christians in the world today, we would expect them to emulate the "original" Christians. Thus, we study their conversion with a view to comparing them to those today that claim conversion to Christ or preach how men ought to be converted (File size: 148k).

A Lost Generation. This lesson looks at the tragic decision of the children of Israel to follow the negative report given by ten of the twelve spies who had been sent to spy out the land of promise. It considers not only the reasons for their decision but also the consequences of it using them as an example to encourage God's people to remain faithful today (File size: 52k).

The Believer's Assurance. We should never be reluctant to talk about being "saved" or "born again" when people obey the gospel of Christ. Just because the Pentecostals and other Charismatics do not understand conversion is no reason to fear using Bible language to discuss a Bible truth. Similarly, we tend to be over–cautious when answering our neighbors who believe in "once saved always saved" when they ask, "Are you saved?" We dig our toe in the ground and say "I hope I'm saved" as if we are talking about the weather or our favorite sports team that is in last place. Just because denominational people do not understand and abuse "salvation," I am not ready to give up scriptural terms. Neither am I ready to accept the doubts others have about my salvation because they do not understand the grace of God. For these reasons it is appropriate that we discuss the assurance that the believer has in Christ (File size: 104k).
