For God So Loved The World

Contributed by Jonathan Nelson on Dec 18, 2021

A Christmas message focusing on John 3:16 and God's love for mankind.

John 3:16 is both the easiest verse in the Bible to preach on and it is the hardest verse to preach on. Of the 31,102 verses in the Bible, John 3:16 captures the very essence of the message of the Gospel. If we were to remove every verse from Genesis to Revelation, leaving only John 3:16, I still ...read more

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Marvin P. Hoogland on Aug 9, 2021

Is A.i. A Threat To Christianity?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 30, 2023

The Church - A Lighthouse

Contributed by Troy Harkey on Apr 16, 2003

Jonah And God's Plant

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jun 15, 2007

I was listening to a group of men talking, and they were talking about real men being turned off of Christianity because of the pastor’s language and even the songs we sing aren’t manly enough.

Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Nov 24, 2007

Because Jesus the Christ did not let go of His mission which was to die on that Old Rugged Cross, we now have a New Beginning.
