The "In Thing"

Contributed by Ron Hicks on Jun 29, 2007

Can Christianity be trendy? Absolutely! It’s faddish, popular, and contemporary. But if its not real to you, it will eventually cease to gratify and feed your curiosity, then you will find something else that will. Hell will be full of trendies.

The worldview of Christianity is that it is controlling, a needless waste of time and a money consumer, restrictive, intolerant, and maybe even cliquish ...read more

The One Thing

Contributed by Richard Jumper on Jul 22, 2007

The Main Thing

Contributed by Cleveland B. Bishop on Sep 6, 2011

“The Main Thing” is a sermon which assumes you have placed your faith in Jesus the Christ as your Savior & Lord and eagerly desire to live a life that is pleasing to God. It is also for those who want to know what true Christianity is really all about.
