Contributed by Christian Jones on Oct 21, 2023

In a world filled with distractions and temptations, it's vital for us to understand and embrace the concept of true unadulterated worship in the house of God. Genuine worship goes beyond rituals and routines, touching the very core of our relationship with God.

Who Was Melchizedek And Why Should We Care? Series

I Will Not Give To God Anything That Costs Me Nothing Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Oct 2, 2016

David said: "I won’t make an offering to God that doesn’t cost me something." What a great passage on demonstration of faith in God. Listen! To give without sacrifice is not to give at all. Ornan and David sacrificed but I believe Ornan sacrificed more.
