Against such things there is no law.” (Gal 5:22-23 NIV) Many years ago, I purchased an older ranch style home that needed fixing up. It had lots of potential and the ...read more

Building On The Rock Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more
