The Friend Of God’s People - James 2:25-26 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021

This sermon shows how differently God sees people than we do. By our standards, Abraham and Rahab couldn’t be more different. For God, they are the same.

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 13, 2021

"the God Of Miracles"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Mar 30, 2023

This message shares stories and events that glimpse the supernatural realm and the God of miracles. He demonstrated His strength in the early church and continues to do so today. The Lord knows those who are His, and this foundational truth gives us hope, which we call an anchor of our soul.

Scripture constantly promises that God will exalt the humble. But what if you don’t desire exaltation?
