Faith To Believe Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 16, 2018

Jesus declared we could move mountains if we have faith and do not doubt. Did He really mean that? What are the implications of that for believers today?

Accountabilty: Who's Your Accountability Partner

Contributed by Theresa Odom-Surgick on Dec 16, 2017

In this life at one time or another, we all have someone that we are accountable to or for...someone we have to be accountable to. My grandson gave us a great example of what we look like when we shrug off being accountable.

The Christ In A Manger

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We have heard the story so often that it seems obvious that Christ was born in a manger. But that would have been shocking to the world of that day.

I always enjoy the chance to meet people from different cultures and learn how 2 people from 2 different cultures can look at the same event and see it differently.

Christians Must Be Prepared To Suffer For Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2019

The Prosperity movement has given Americans a wrong view of God -- that He won’t let Christians suffer. But the truth is that suffering is a vital part of Christianity. Suffering should be viewed as a blessing, a cause for rejoicing, and a sign of future reward.

Spiritual Healing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021
