The Defeat Of Satan’s Superman Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2014

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 26, 2024

Today I will be preaching on the parable of THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR found in the book of Luke.

The gospel of Luke is the only book that carries this passage of scripture that some think is a parable. However, as I preach this from this PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE, I need to mention that there are some preachers who refuse to preach this passage of scripture as a parable. Some say it is not a ...read more

A Glimpse Of Heaven (Exodus 24:1-25:8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2023

God, and his people, enter into a new covenant, and share a meal. An impossible picture combining worship, and service, and God's presence-- and a glimpse of our future.

In some cultures and governments, the ...read more
