Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 12, 2021

Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025

When it comes to extending mercy, it seems the Church has lost its way. Too many are quick to condemn people they don't like. This message is about being more like our Heavenly Father when it comes to acting with mercy.

There is a characteristic of our Father that is a part of our DNA as His sons and daughters that we are seeing less evident in the Church today. God’s heart for people. Now, you may be thinking, “Bro. Barry, hold up. What do you mean the Church is showing less of God’s heart today? What about ...read more
