    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,586 views

Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,495 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

     | 1,804 views

    When we want to yell curses at God, perhaps we first should ask if our peril has somehow been brought on by our own stupid decision somewhere.

    Wednesday of the 27th Week in Course Have you ever been angry with God?
