A Motley Crew, In Chains

Tychicus, Onesimus, and Aristarchus chose to chain themselves to ministries of encouragement, inclusion, and support.

If you follow the rock music scene, I guess I should hurry to assure you that the sermon today is not about a heavy metal group, nor is it about some kind of kinky fetish. The theme, "A Motley Crew, In Chains" is evoked by the long list of names which Paul singles out as he finishes the Colossian ...read more

Moles Or Souls? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009

A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more

Gambling Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 23, 2012
