Dissin' The Homeboy Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 9, 2009

When we disrespect our own children, we disempower them, we give evidence that ours is a sick community, and we write off God’s ability to redeem.

They ran through the hails, rudely bumping those who were in the way. Elderly ladies cringed when they saw them coming. Small children screamed and hid behind their ...read more

Moonstruck Lunatic And Members

Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Jun 6, 2010

Whether the boy was a lunatic or suffered from epilepsy is not really the issue. Fact of the matter is the Church suffered from a seizure of unbelief that cripples the ministry of Christ.

Before we talk about our text this evening we need to first ask ourselves do we truly, honestly, sincerely, want to see our Lord’s return. I ask because the Bible gives us four things that must occur before the Second Coming of Christ and they are all within our scope of responsibility and are ...read more
