    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 8, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,811 views

    You may be rejected right from God's body! Hard to believe or imagine? When we are lukewarm, He'll do it... Spue You Go!

    I know… Spue doesn’t even seem like a word, right? I mean, maybe it should be spelled spew, or something. Well, the word spew is pretty close to the context of this writing, but spue is actually the word Jesus used to describe just how aggressively He will reject you! Wait… Jesus rejects ...read more

    I don’t know about you, but there are some parts of 2017 I’m not very happy about. And there are parts of 2017 I’m not carrying into 2018. Can I get an “Amen”? In 2018, it’s going to be different for Barry. I can’t speak for anybody else but it’s going to be different for Barry. The title of the ...read more

    A young boy faithfully attended Sunday school. He had been taught by the same teacher for a number of years. She had a way of telling stories, and she would always routinely end her stories by saying, "And the moral of the story is…"

He went home after church and at the dinner table his dad said, “Son, how do you like your new teacher?” The young boy replied, "She ...read more

     | 2,239 views

    The urgent task and maximum priority of the Church is the fulfillment of our Lord’s final instruction. The Way of the Cross does not end at the crucifixion or with the resurrection. It ends 50 days after Passover with the Great Commission. We bleed evangelism.

    Message by Eddie Fernandes (Click series title) Introduction We end a 12-week journey today. We have been in a 3-month study on the Stations of the Cross. We did not follow the traditional 14 stations. We will also not end at Calvary, as most traditions do. Let me remind you of the 11 places we ...read more
