A New Way Of Living Series

Contributed by Thomas H on Oct 4, 2010

Can you pull up your chair and ...read more

I Never Met Milton Bradley

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007

Our involvement in church is no game. It has eternal consequences.

When it comes to games, I don’t believe there is a more avid game player than my wife. She loves to play games. We have a card game that we like to play called "hand and foot."

Extraordinary Love Series

Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 21, 2009

Paul is a man who is shaken out of his religious ideas…ultimately centered in his own ego and understanding… and awakened to the reality of what the true and living God is doing.

Over the centuries many have written of profound spiritual experiences… and often there can be something to learn from them. But none has been as profound or proved as substantial ...read more

Being A Disciple: Predestined, Called, Justified, Glorified

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 19, 2013

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? It starts with being a follower of Him. Then it gets better and better.

What's This Evangelism All About? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 5, 2016
