The Greatest Of These Is Love!

Contributed by Michael Brown on Jan 30, 2024

Trust God

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 5, 2024

Trust in God is more than a concept, it’s an action and a faith-filled journey that brings us closer to God. It is a deep-seated belief in His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and love, understanding that His plans for us surpass our very comprehension.

“Trust God” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today I want to deal with a simple topic but in its simplicity is truly complex. That is simply Trust God.

Sermon - The Paradox Of Biblical Faith

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 15, 2024

They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on ...read more

Faith

Contributed by Kevin Eckhart on May 29, 2024
