Down Is The New Up - Sermon On Philippians 2:5-11 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

Blessed Are The Merciful Series

Contributed by Samuel Stone on Oct 13, 2007

Easter Sunday: If Jesus Was Raised Then What Will You Do About It?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 11, 2009

If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus
