The Christmas Story Pt 4. Our Love For The Lost

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Dec 21, 2018

This is a Christmas message on why God chose to send the angels to the shepherds rather than to anyone else. God wanted the message to include everyone including the lost. Since God has a great love for those who are lost we as believers should have that same type of love.

The Limits Of Tolerance

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

There’s been a shift in American thought over the past several decades. America historically stood for the right to express any opinion. Where we used to believe that you should tolerate my views even when they were false but now, we believe it is wrong to call anybody’s views’ false.

Find the book of Jude with me. There are books in your Bible and there are letters in your Bible, but you could probably think of Jude more like a postcard.
