Sure Reward Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 8, 2021

For Heaven’s Sake, Don't Quit!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 13, 2021

Paul was Timothy’s spiritual mentor. Many of the things we find instilled in Timothy’s life were placed there by Paul.

For example, so many of the things we do, are the result of our parents instilling certain values within us as a child. For example: • Some vote for the same political party their parents voted for. They would not think of changing political parties, because that was the political party their ...read more

Sermon # 6 - The Secret Schemes Of The Enemy Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 15, 2024
