PROVERBS 1:20-23 WISDOM'S SHOUTS Wisdom is depicted as a beautiful and noble queen standing in the crowded plaza of humanity. There she lifts up her lovely and authoritative voice to those passing by. The personification here of wisdom was meant to give some kind of tangibleness to what ...read more

Discerning & Discovering Spiritual Blessings Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 5, 2011

Unwavering Faith Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 10, 2011

Abraham believed and followed God's promises and God credited him with righteousness. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we, like Abraham, can be accounted as righteous through faith also.

ROMANS 4: 19-25 UNWAVERING FAITH Salvation is not something earned. It is a free gift. It is not something deserved, it is from God's grace to all who will actively take God at His Word.

True Shepherds & False Shepherds - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 30, 2010
