Philadelphia: The Faithful Church Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 7, 2021

Communion is a celebration of the One who opened what we could not open ourselves – the door of Heaven. He opened it on the cross and then He walked through the door of death and He waits for us on the other side where He will call us by our name and welcome us into His Temple.

They were patient. They had to suffer through a lot of boring … and honestly … terrible sermons and I made a ...read more

Competing According To The Rules Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2015

Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

Praising God At The Dung Gate
