How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008

We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

How Much Is It Worth? Series

If you can identify it, we'll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) Sometimes it’s hard to decide what something is worth. My ...read more

This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more
