One Is Bad - One Is Good

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 11, 2009

A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell. There is a discrepancy in those numbers because everyone wants to go someplace good, and we all recognize that heaven is a good place. Likewise, we do not want to go any ...read more

Menof The Bible - Peter Series

Contributed by John Murphy on Oct 25, 2012

Brash, contentious and even brazen but no one can deny Peter loved Jesus and had all the right intentions.
