Go! And Follow The Great Commission: Not The Great Suggestion Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 11, 2025

When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He did not say, “If you feel like it, and if it fits your schedule, go and make disciples.” No — He gave His followers an unshakable, urgent, eternal command.

Preparing For Easter: Simon Peter-Sifted Now To Strengthen Later

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 16, 2023

Giving

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

Jesus teaches us a strange math, that when we give to others, we gain more back than we gave.

I came out ahead. And now that I have four hymnals, if I give one away, how many will I have? Only 3. I’ve ...read more

God Demands Complete Obedience

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.
