Experience The Favor Series

Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Dec 27, 2007

Second in a series of four messages concerning angelic sightings surrounding the birth of Jesus; this one emphasizing the favor of God in a life

Our culture is captivated by the supernatural. As we saw last week, followers of Jesus ought to believe in the supernatural.

The Cost Of Abandoning Christ Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021

Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more
