"I Know What You Are Going Through…"

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018

Too easily, we try to comfort people in sorrow and pain, saying that we know what they are going through. The fact is that mostly we don't. But Jesus knows what we are going through, because he has been there. What does that imply for us?

The Importance Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

Lessons From A Church 8 Years Away From Death

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Feb 10, 2019
