Faith Over Fear Series

Contributed by Peter Naveen Saketi on Aug 14, 2021

There's lot of fear around during this pandemic and also we get fear of various things in our daily lives. Having fear, over concern, being anxious of things, fear of future are not the solutions for life. How do we deal with this issue?

Should A Christian Keep The Law? (Pt. 1) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 1, 2021

Many Christians are confused as to why Christians keep part of the Old Testament commandments but don't keep others. This series of two messages helps them find answers to their questions.
