The Day They Cancelled Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 13, 2021

The cancel culture has swept our nation... and destroyed lives, careers and futures. But the actions of those of the cancel culture are as old as history. They cancelled Abel, and the prophets... and they even cancelled Jesus. Or at least they thought they had.

Investing Our Talents Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more
