Establishing Strong Christian Families Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 20, 2023

Strong Christian families are important in and of themselves, but beyond that as testimony to attract a lost and hurting broken world to Christ. People want to know if following Christ makes a difference.

Sent, Not Settled Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

We are living in a time when comfort has become king. We love to settle down, get comfortable, and create spaces that are predictable and safe. We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more
