More Like Him Than You Think

And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more

Apodidomi

Apocalypse Wow! The Return Of Jesus - Not Just Another Sequel

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Nov 15, 2004

Jesus will return to pay back his enemies and to take back his people.

Love Builds Up, And Focuses On The Other (1 Corinthians 8:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2022

The Corinthians are focused on knowledge, and their rights. In doing this, they've lost track of what's more important-- the church, and building the body.

In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul switches topics. So we find ourselves done thinking and talking about singleness, and marriage, and touching, and sexual immorality. The Corinthians have another question that they want Paul to answer. That question is something like this: "Is it okay to go to ...read more
