Drawn By Beauty

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

Today I will be speaking about how objective beauty points us to the Creator God. We’ll be looking at Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 96:6. One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more

No Sleepwalking Allowed Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 28, 2023

So, back to the original question--has anyone here ever had a sleepwalking experience? How did it go? Did anyone get hurt? The reason I ...read more
