Contributed by James May on Feb 10, 2008

Spiritual growth and maturity, and the ability to handle the meat of the Word should come as naturally to the Christian as it is for a newborn baby who grows into maturity.

The Quest For Righteousness

Contributed by Brad Froese on Jul 18, 2006

People often misperceive righteousness as goodness or perfection. This sermon encourages righteousness as faith & actions combined... (Book of James.)

Illustrate the story of Moses at ...read more
