    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 7, 2016
     | 5,964 views

The first day he managed to paint 2 miles, and his boss was very pleased. The next day he only painted 2 blocks, but his boss thought that he'd probably started off too hard ...read more

    Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

God is holy. God is a moral being who holds people morally accountable. God does not change. So, the moral ...read more

It’s at the heart of what God is like. We find it very tough to do. But in this teaching, Jesus demands that ...read more
