Sermons on Hatred Of God:

The Surety Of God's Love

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 8, 2022

With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

All Glory And Honor To The Son Of God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 1, 2022

Jesus' Divinity was shown in the healing of a man on the Sabbath Day (John 5:16) and declaring Himself equal with God (John 5:17-18). The religious authorities sought to kill Him yet should have honored Him. Their failure to do so condemned them. Don't make that mistake.

In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more
