He Is Faithful

Contributed by Jerry Flury on May 1, 2011

Blessed Ignorance, Jesus Is Mine Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 9, 2003

We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Sep 1, 2024

G. K. Chesterton once said that it is often supposed that when people stop believing in God, they believe in nothing. Alas, it is worse than that. When they stop believing in God, they believe in anything.

Conformed To Unity - Philippians 2:1-4 Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 19, 2016
