Sin Leading Unto Death

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Bible tells us that there is a sin that leads unto death - one single sin - and it might not be what we expect. In fact, this one disqualifying sin will exclude us from ever going to heaven and receiving eternal life. So, what is this sin?

If there was a crime worthy of death, what would it be? Would it be murder, rape, spouse abuse, adultery, theft, gambling, or perhaps lying? Many of us would say that murder is worthy of the death penalty; and if any of us had a child that were raped, we would probably believe the person who ...read more

The Excitement Of Easter

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 17, 2022

It is a blessing for us to be able to come to church and hear the gospel preached over and over again. Why?

One Accord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

Before this Sunday arrives, they send out newsletters from the church, stating: • Cots will be placed in the ...read more
