Glow 7– Rock And Role Ministry Series

The Call To Unity Series

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 15, 2020

Unity

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021

The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.

Ephesians 5 On Marriage

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 30, 2025

INTRODUCTION After our relationship to God, marriage is the most important relationship we get into. But society’s view of marriage has changed dramatically over the past half century or so. What I would like to do today is give you two pictures. The first picture is what I’m calling the ...read more

The Cost Of Discipleship Series

Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Apr 11, 2009
