Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 2, 2022

Establishing A Covenant Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

God Is The Lion-Killer (Nahum 2:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Lessons From The Life Of Abraham (2–5)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 27, 2022

We live in an age of materialism! It seems we can’t get enough of what this world has to offer. Because of people’s love for things, we have two problems.
