Psalm 136 (Kjv) Title: His Loving Kindness Endures Forever Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 26, 2020

Two Kinds Of Wildernesses

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022

Do you feel like you're in the wilderness with no way out? This message looks at two possible reasons why someone might wind up there, by examining both the “sin-driven wilderness” and “Spirit-driven wilderness.”

Native Americans, for example, will journey into the wilderness on a vision quest; thrill seekers will flock to the mountains and remote places in search of adventure; those who are overworked will retreat there for peace ...read more

Why Does God Need My Money? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 10, 2021
