A Victorious Life Through Christ Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 16, 2019

Unless we learn to take full responsibility for our own actions and stop blaming others -including Satan- for our poor choices; we will never be able to come before God with a repentant heart. And that's the most essential element for our salvation.

God knows every detail concerning our physical, emotional, and mental conditions. None of our truth, whether told or untold, is ever hidden from our omniscient Father who knew us before we were conceived; He already knows our last breath on this earth; and every dot in between. Psalm 139:13 reads, ...read more

Learning From Thomas Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 4, 2024

We can learn a lot from Thomas that by encountering Jesus and hearing the testimonies of others, we don't have to lose faith, doubt and fail to believe.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT IT WAS THOMAS WHO GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE OF DOUBT.

DEPSITE THEIR JOY OF PROCLAIMING “WE ...read more
