SERMONS AND COMMENTARY ON BIBLICAL SUBJECTS

"All scriptue is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2Tim. 3:16-17). "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified" (Acts 20:32). "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek" (Rom. 1:16). "...In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him" (Acts 10:34).

Articles by various gospel preachers:
Gospel basics, sound teaching, issues of the day, false teaching exposed
by Bible teaching, instruction in righteousness, giving glory to God.
