Three Absolutes

Contributed by Greg Aery on Nov 27, 2006

In a world of few absolutes, this sermon deals with the discovery of at least three.

We live in a society of very few absolutes. For instance, there was a day when you could shake the hand of a man and be absolutely sure he would honor his word. In this present day we have men sign contracts and wonder if they will keep their word. However, I do want us to turn our attention to ...read more

Repentance is part of the salvation song of God’s people. God has graciously left the door open for us to come home. But to get back we must turn back and continue to make corrective adjustments in our walk with the Lord.

The Definition Of Godly Parenting Series

Contributed by Greg Addison on Dec 1, 2006

The most important lesson you will teach your children is to learn biblical submission through the process of teaching them to obey. It is the primary spiritual lesson and foundation of parenting.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PARENTING – YOUR KIDS NEED YOU It is my firm opinion that people do not know how to parent any longer. As a nation, the last generation of parents failed and now a new generation of parents is trying to discover how to do it with no role model, but only a broken home to look ...read more
