Patience In The Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023

One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

When I say small, I’d ...read more

Easter 2015: Empty Promises Of Easter

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 22, 2016

Let's examine the promises of Easter. Each promise is marked by something empty—an empty cross, empty clothes, and an empty cave. It is the very fact that each of these is empty that assures us God's promises are not.

Dearly Beloved, we have gathered here today to celebrate the love…is often the words we hear preceding the reading of 1 Corinthians 13.
