Unity Through Prayer

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023

I love it when someone calls me or texts me asking me questions about God’s Word. I don’t know all the answers, but I know the One who does! When I get these questions, it helps me grow. I believe it impossible for a church to grow, if the pastor and congregation are not growing in Christ!

Well, it wasn’t the short sermon that hooked him, because they never returned. Today may be the shortest sermon you ...read more

Corona Virus - Don't Be Afraid Pray

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Mar 30, 2020

It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.
