Whom Have I Cheated? Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Jul 2, 2013

One thing the church lacks is more people of character and integrity. Character and integrity are used synonymously, but there is a difference between the two. Character develops through individual situations, integrity finalizes codified virtues learned.

The Father Figure Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 21, 2009

Samuel was a "father figure" to Israel and many of the traits he exhibited here in chapter 12 give us examples of what good fathers do.

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 27, 2020

God encourages us that even if we fail, not to stop serving Him. When we sin, God doesn't automatically throw us out of covenant with Him. As a parent He disciplines us to help us become children of God.
