Grace From Galatians (4-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

The Commitment

Contributed by Nicky Evans on Jul 20, 2011

While the cost of discipleship is 100% commitment 100% of the time, the outworking of that commitment will differ from one person to the next.

Servanthood And Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus had not come to be an earthly, military king who would free the Jews from Rome. He came for something greater. He came to free mankind from themselves, the slavery of sin, and an eternity separated from God. He came as a servant and bids us to do the same.

To others, it brings to mind an artist or a musician. But who is truly great, what does greatness mean ...read more
