    Symbols of Our Faith (Read Joshua 4:1-9) The twelve memorial stones were to be a reminder of God’s mighty acts on behalf of His people. Scripture is full of examples of symbols of faith. Symbols remind us of God and they help to call us away from ourselves into worship. A symbol is a good means ...read more

    The glory of Christ is witnessed in what many consider to be the pedestrian. The people of God, serving as the hands of Christ, the eyes of Christ, the mouth of Christ, are the glory of Christ.

    “As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.” [1] Reading the Word one Sunday morning, I was arrested by something Paul wrote in his Second Letter to the Christians in Corinth. The Apostle has been urging the Corinthian congregation to be generous as they ...read more
