    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,872 views

    Many Christians begin with zeal, but get sidetracked along the way. Some are distracted with career ambitions. Others let hobbies or other interests take more and more time. The most heartbreaking is when someone is sidetracked by a false doctrine. Message expounds Philippians 3:15-21.

During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. Each of these statements is significant and worthy of every drop of ...read more

    If you’re looking for the perfect pastor, look to Jesus your beautiful Savior, your intercessor, your counselor, your protector, your Savior from sin, and your purifier.

    The 21st-century world is louder than ever. And Scripture commands us not simply to run, not merely to endure, but to fix our eyes on Jesus.
