The First Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Ronald and Nancy Reagan had something in common in their childhood, and that was that they both had fallen fathers. When Ron came home one day as an 11 year old boy he found his father flat on his back on the front porch, and there was no one there to help. He said, "He was drunk, dead to ...read more

Seek First

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Jan 3, 2020

The First Lady Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Women have always been a major force in history, if for no other reason, because of their influence on men. Never was this more true than when there was only one woman and one man.

Martha Washington was the first First Lady of the United States. She, like other wives in those ...read more

We are living today in the most exciting time in all of history. Why? Because there’s more people alive today than there’ve ever been. And before Jesus comes back (which could be at any moment), the Church has the potential for bringing literally millions of souls into the Kingdom of God.

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 10, 2021
