The Strategy For Success

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 10, 2019

3: Building Up The Church Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019

Do you neglect your soul all week, then come to church, expecting to be filled up? Or do you nourish your soul all week and come to build up others?

But he didn’t mean a building made of wood or brick or stone. He meant a figurative building in which the members of the ...read more

A Challenge Of True Faith: Give Ye Them To Eat

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 20, 2019
