Selling Out To God Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021

Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

Resurrection

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 26, 2018
