The Resurrection Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul is writing this greatest of all chapters on the resurrection because of the questions of the Corinthians. Some of them were very strange questions. The saying is, there is no such thing as a foolish question, and that holds true even though Paul begins by calling their question foolish.

This great fighter for religious liberty, and the founder of the first Baptist church in America in Providence, R.I., died and was buried in a very insecure casket.

"Our Savior And Scarecrows: How To Fight Your Fears” Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on May 11, 2022

God didn’t call Abraham to be the Father of Faith because He was a spiritual giant; quiet to contrary, He called Him because He was human, yet willing to be molded, melted, and changed. He wants to do the same for you.
