Looking For God In All The Wrong Places

Contributed by Terry Owens on May 10, 2001

Have you found God yet? Maybe you’re looking in all the wrong places, see where to look in this exciting message.

Action Pattern For A Crossover People

A Mary's Story Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016

Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him
