Suicide And The Brain Series

It’s difficult these days to listen to any news reports without hearing the phrases ‘mental illness’ or ‘suicide’. I’m convinced that there are many unnecessary deaths by suicide. Just consider that phrase for a moment. It doesn’t make sense. But given the rates of depression — 80% of all ...read more

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

I included it in hopes that it may help fellow Christians who are not Sabbatarian to better understand some of this sermon's content. There is a statement in this ...read more

The Good Shepherd PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more
