Sermon # 8 - Rebuild The Altars Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 19, 2024

There were four altars that Abraham built at various times in his life, and each of them had a special significance. As we understand what these altars represented, may we too take time to rebuild those areas where we are still lacking.

Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024

This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

We know from Jesus’s ...read more
