An Idle Tale Or Gospel Truth? Series

Contributed by Garth Wehrfritz- Hanson on Mar 31, 2010

Luke's account of the resurrection raises the issue of the struggle the early church had to believe the women's witness to Christ's resurrection. We too struggle to believe, yet ultimately, do because we trust in the validity of the women's Easter sermon

The Reality Of Hell Series

Contributed by Richard White on Apr 30, 2010

The Reality of HELL Rev 20:4-15 As a preacher and chaplain, I’m often confronted by death. One thing I’ve observed is that when someone dies, that person’s loved ones want to believe their relative went to “a better place.” We’ll say things like, “She ...read more

Our Spiritual Family

Contributed by Jim Keegan on May 25, 2023

Jesus created the Church as the spiritual family we all need on our faith journey. And just as strong families are the building blocks of a healthy society, our spiritual families are equally foundational to living a richer life in the Kingdom of God.

From Rejection To Reconciliation Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

To review the entire scope of the book of Romans I am preaching through, Romans, 1-8 is ...read more
