Taking It To The Mat Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 23, 2015

How do we defeat Satan? It appears we do it by (as a Church) beating down the gates of Hell. But how exactly do that, and what is the objective in beating down those gates?

Judge Not, Least Ye Be Judged! Really?

Contributed by John Hickman on Oct 21, 2013
