Standing Firm In The Truth Of The Gospel Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 8, 2013

As we study Paul's confrontation of Peter in Galatians 2, we learn a number of lessons: the infallibility of leaders, the power of peer pressure, and the truth of the Gospel that we are saved by grace and not by works.

Faith, Filth And The Human Heart

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015

The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

One time one of us didn’t show up. The other guys just ignored it but I was troubled. I sought out ...read more
