Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

Religion often makes things confusing - but people can not afford to be confused about the Gospel. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. We should all learn to take the time to confirm a persons salvation in Jesus Christ before just assuming they are saved.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 2 – Is Abortion Solely The Mother’s Choice? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 26, 2024

The Rich Young Ruler Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2023

A Costly Memorial Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 7, 2023

As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

Jesus Christ stands before deliberately in front of the candelabra by the treasury and says, “I’m not like the prophets who point to the glory of God. I’m not like the gurus who reflect the glory of God through their consciousness. I am THE glory of God.”

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 10, 2022
