Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 8, 2022

Introduction: Many years ago, the late Nat King Cole sang a song in a way that only he could sing. It was called "I Found the Answer, I Learned to Pray."

Some never learn that lesson because they never read their Bible or attend a church where ...read more

Jesus has been taken down, wrapped in linen, and laid in a tomb. The voice that calmed storms is now silent. John writes this passage not as a detached ...read more

I Made A Mistake, I Am Not A Mistake

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Dec 29, 2025

This is the sixth talk in a course called "Trauma and Transformation, Level 2". This advanced course takes a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach to healing. Both Christians and non-Christians are in attendance, so the homily is presented with that in mind.
