God’s Grace Collides With Culture

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 6, 2024

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025

I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more

The Party Crasher

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 21, 2019

Christ receives sinners. Just so, the assemblies of our Lord should be noted for welcoming those who are identified as sinners, since we each were once estranged from the Lord until He welcomed us.

And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind ...read more
