Before The Beginning Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

The Father Of The Future Series

They feel it is a evil custom to be sold like an object to the highest bidder. They have ...read more
