Assault Against The Faithful Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2021

On The Way To Jerusalem

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on May 10, 2015

A perspective on Luke 19: On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped to give life to others according to their needs. Jesus teaches that we all need to stop from time to time and give life to someone in need. In this way we live in his kingdom.

Good News Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 24, 2017

In Romans 1:1–7 Paul unfolds 7 aspects of the good news of Jesus Christ: 1) The Preacher (Rom. 1:1) and Promise (Rom. 1:2), 2) Person (Rom. 1:3-4), 3) Provision , Proclamation, Purpose (Rom. 1:5), and finally the 4) Privileges of the Good News (Rom. 1:7)
