Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

The Opportunities We Miss Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2023

Why did King Herod - and all of Jerusalem - miss the opportunity to go find Jesus in Jerusalem? And how can we avoid "missing" our opportunity find Jesus as well?
