The Poor in Spirit

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Nothing that we could ever do could impress God, except for our contrition, acknowledgment of our infirmity, and remorse for our sins which displease God.

That No Flesh Should Glory

Sermon by Mark Schindler

Having God's spiritual gifts should not incline us to exercise any measure of pride because we have nothing that has not been given to us by God.
