Balancing The Books - An Easter Sermon Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 16, 2017

Easter is all about "accounting". When most people think about going to heaven, they count their good deeds... but God doesn't do it that way. How do we prepare ourselves for standing before the one to Whom we must give an accounting?

God Can See What Man Is Doing

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Aug 5, 2019
