Communion - Open, Closed, Or Cracked? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 7, 2020

The Conception Of Communion Clarified Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Lord's Supper signifies the greatest fact in a person's life. It is a symbol of his death that men might live forever. The purpose of this memorial is that you might never forget that this is life's greatest fact.

The pyramids of Egypt are symbols of man's desire to be remembered. Man alone among all creatures builds a tomb to perpetuate his name. He builds houses, but so do muskrats and birds. He organizes into cooperative society, but so do bees. He forms armies with captains and generals, but so do ...read more

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
