Completion Of The Way

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Jul 18, 2011

When Paul testifies before Festus and Agrippa he not only shares his testimony he shows the flaw being judgmental and the difference between religion and relationship.

Do You Have 20/20 Vision?

Contributed by Chad Taylor on Jan 7, 2014

Every year we struggle with New Year's Resolutions or goals set that we fail to reach. The church is no different. Does the church have a clear vision for Jesus and the authority of His word? Its time to separate the garbage from the truth in our walk!
