Wings Of Jesus

Contributed by Michael Hobday on Jul 13, 2024

Let us turn to The Book of Malachi, also called The Prophecy of Malachias, where God promises to redeem His people and send a Messiah to fulfill His covenant promises.

Dangers Of Mixed Multitude Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 21, 2023

Who Then Can Be Saved?

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2023

The place of children. Trust in riches a snare. Eternal life inherited, not earned.

WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED? Luke 18:15-30. 1. Jesus blesses the little children (Luke 18:15-17). People brought infants to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples sought to turn them away (Luke 18:15).
