God's Favor

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025

We are not saved by rule-keeping or self-rescue but by God’s grace—grace received by faith—which alone can break sin’s dominion and lead us home.

What Makes Us Uncomfortable

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023

There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

"watchful Living In A World Of Wheat And Tares" By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Oct 6, 2024
