Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020

Although ignorance is a major problem in the Christian world, our biggest issue involves being rightly related to God. Many, sadly, look to law-keeping as the way to know God or receive His forgiveness. This simply will not work; we need regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit within us.

God Delivers Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 2, 2021

Tonight brings us the climax of this story that most of us already know. But even though it's a familiar story, I always look for some reason that this story is in God's Word. Why is it there and what it is trying to teach us?
