Contributed by Troy Borst on Feb 4, 2016

The key word today is “submission.” There, I said it. I started my sermon out by using a dirty word. Some of you might think it is a dirty word anyway. Let’s read the passage from Scripture that also uses the dirty word of the day.

Love Is Not Rude!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 18, 2018

This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

Hiking Trail Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 10, 2025
