Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 31, 2018

The Church teaches that the Lord’s Day is hallowed by the celebration of Eucharist, and reception of Holy Communion.

Do You Really Know God?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 8, 2022

Many people in the world today know ABOUT God, but don't really KNOW Him personally. Most people when they say they know God, mean they've heard of Him and about Him. But don't really know Him. My question to you today is, "Do YOU REALLY know God?"

But, in order to live in such a way that God is most glorified, we must pursue a greater knowledge of Him. ...read more
