A Theology Of Problems Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Which God Do You Serve?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 3, 2023

Who is your God? All people believe in something. But in whom do you believe? Who is your God? You believe in socialism. That's your God. Some of you believe in communism. That's your God. That's not the God of the Bible. You can know about God and certainly not have Jesus Christ.

But I preach on tithing for another reason because I want (2) I want the blessings of God on your life not God’s curse. Many of us if not all ...read more

Searching For Home

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more
