The Very Real Danger Of Spiritual Neglect Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

Today we begin a new message series from the Book of Hebrews which I’ve entitled “The Faith that Endures.” It’s a sobering book because it addresses a sobering topic—an issue that I know that I would prefer not to admit that it exists. It addresses the issue of Christians who are tempted to fall ...read more
