Contending For The Faith

Contributed by Don Campbell on May 8, 2023

Jude exhorts us "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." A falure to clearly identify "the faith" has resulted in the proliferation of denominations and sects because divisions arose of opinions on matters of expediency.

Sermon # 36 - The Bondage Breaker Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 26, 2023

Addictions are of various sorts, and if one has to overcome any addiction it is possible only through Jesus Christ. It is possible to live a life free from every bondage, and this sermon will tell you how.
