    How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

Sadly it was also a place where Jeroboam established a false religion, centering on the worship of a golden calf. The background for this message comes from 1 Kings 12-13 Full disclosure: Sermon Central has ...read more
