Contributed on Apr 26, 2025

Wearing Your Faith
Contributed on Feb 12, 2025
James 2:17 says, "Even so, faith if it hath not works is dead, being alone." This message is about how a Christian can know that he or she is living by faith.
Turn to Habakkuk 2:4. We will get there in a moment. Over the years I have heard countless sermons and teachings on faith – and that is a good thing. A person cannot be a Christian and not live by faith. The truth that a Christian must live by faith is found in both the Old and New ...read more

Contributed on Jul 25, 2018
As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we would ask our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat breakfast. He’d tell us.

Jesus Road A Donkey
Contributed on Jun 25, 2018
