Remember The Bread

Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 5, 2023

Our Lord uses bread as a metaphor when the Disciples forget to bring some. This is to get them to open their spiritual eyes and see Who they are dealing with. They failed to understand that Jesus Christ was and is the Bread of Life.

From House To House

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more
