You Shall Not Pass

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Aug 28, 2006

God's Call To The Poor Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 12, 2009

Poor Christians are special people to God. He saves each of us on the basis of the work of Christ on the cross & not because of anything that we are or have. But the poor are more receptive to the gospel message therefore they seem favored by God.

JAMES 2:5-7 GOD’S CALL TO THE POOR [1 Corinthians 1:26-27] Preferential treatment of the rich is wrong. James makes his case that biased judgment is wrong through four rhetorical questions he will ask, expecting an affirmative answer. Those who have entered into a faith relationship with Jesus ...read more

Why Does Easter Matter

Contributed by Jay Robison on Feb 24, 2009

The Man In The Middle Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 2, 2019
