    Is it law or faith, Moses or Abraham, curse or promise? The way of blessing must often be defended. Do you belong to Christ?

    When was the last time you had a big argument? Some of you may not be able to remember it, on the other hand, perhaps you had one on the way to church this morning. Arguing is what we do with people when we want them to see our perspective about something we disagree on. Galatians records one ...read more

    Spiritual Appetite Matthew 5:6 2-8-04 Intro Last week we found in Psalm 1 a picture of true happiness. We found it as we saw the contrast between two metaphors.
