“Abiding in the Vine” • John 15:1-17 Brother Jonah Lowrance. Just as Jesus Christ is in an everlasting relationship with His Father, the children of God are kept by God’s power and will never be lost. But our day to day fellowship with God and our purpose in life is to abide in Him and bear fruit in good works of love. When we love others as Christ loved us, we abide in the love of God and fulfill our calling as children of God.
“The Miracle of Preaching the Gospel” • 1st Corinthians 2:1-10 Elder Bryce Lowrance. The Apostle Paul explains why some people believe and rejoice in the gospel message while others do not. It is not because that believers are smarter, more-learned, more righteous or more noble. The conversion of believers is also not based on the speaking or persuasive abilities of the preacher. Believers are only able to believe because God has performed the work of irresistible grace in their souls. They have have been given faith in the new birth and now have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to help them understand and rejoice in the work of God.
