A Covenant is of course just a promise, like in the covenant of marriage, & it can be between human beings alone or God & human beings. A very important part of a ...read more

Contributed by Bobby Daniel on Jan 7, 2008

My first sermon of 2008, using the "Great Commission" passage to layout a strategery for the coming year.

Parallels between the Jewish ’reformation’ of Ezra’s day and the Protestant Reformation which began in the 1300’s, culminating in the life of Martin Luther.
