Contributed by Brian Bill on May 20, 2003

This morning, as we take a look at Psalm 145, we will see that worship is designed to radically impact our very lives.

Redemption #16 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Mar 8, 2005

BEFORE God created a single grain of sand, before a single human was formed, before there was a single moonbeam, God loved you and made a plan of redemption, just for you. My, friend, that’s love!!!!

In the last lesson, we saw that the subject of redemption is vast, and is interlaced and interdependent on many other Biblical subjects. 1. The essence of God ...read more
