    Eli failed his son in 3 very distinct ways. What can we learn from his "bad" example?

    OPEN: Have you ever had something go “bad” in your refrigerator? How can you tell when food is spoiled?

    We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.

But nowadays, sometimes it seems like it’s getting just a little bit old. It’s tempting to say that the idea has had its day and ...read more

A mortal.” This is pretty much the general opinion concerning Jesus. ...read more
