Sermons on It Was Good:

One Man Shall Die For All Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more

What We Know About Heaven Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2019

Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” Jesus wants us to trust Him and the Father. This is the key to heaven.
