The Holy Spirit's Role In Knowing The Will Of God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 9, 2021

Building Blocks In God's Holy House

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 23, 2022

We are “living stones,” called to be linked with one another in Christ, tightly integrated like stones in a wall. This requires us to strengthen our connections with each other, in fellowship, mutual support, and prayer.
