Shaping Your Legacy Series

Jacob's blessing of his sons provides an opportunity for hearers to think about their legacy. A legacy is built by choices. Our legacy does not control us. In Christ, we create a new legacy.

I’m not talking about wealth or property, but about the impact we have on the lives of others. We have all inherited a legacy. (Note to preacher: Personalize this!) I am a cheap ...read more

Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get. Forest Gump That is why we need grace.

“Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get.” Oh how true is that statement that Forest Gump makes.

Christ, In Thy Mercy, Save Thou Me!

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 2, 2018

He will faithfully forgive us when we ask. But if when Nero demands we drop the incense in prayer to the emperor, if we deny Christ is Lord, then He must deny us.

Thursday of 9th Week in Course 2018 Reformation/Revolution St. Paul wrote the second letter to bishop Timothy during his final imprisonment.

GRACE

Be A Good Soldier

Today we’re moving on to chapter 2. But I’m going to approach the passage by a different route. I’m going to take a look at three ...read more
