Avoiding Loss Or Becoming A Champion? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 2, 2013

God wants to transform us from loss-avoiders to champions.

Contributed by Darren Rogers on Sep 4, 2007

Do we shed tears for those who are lost? How do we sow the seed of God’s Word? With tears in our eyes or do we just go through the motions?

An Unwilling Heart Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 28, 2016

A crisis is a test. It reveals our attitude towards God and faith in Him. What is the posture of your heart?
