The Anger Of The Most High

Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Aug 10, 2021

YAHWEH our FATHER also gets angry when we persistently do the things HE has told us not to do. HE is holy and does not tolerate sin. HE warns against sin and says there will be hell to pay.

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

Strait And Narrow Sermon V: Christians Rejoice At Their Choice Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jun 10, 2020
