Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 7, 2022

As Christians we all want to get close to Jesus but few are able to develop a close, personal relationship with Him due to focusing on their own needs first instead of the kingdom of God.

How Does Personal Spiritual Growth Connect To The Church? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2020

It’s not essential to grasp that verse in order to be able to understand the larger point that Paul is making, so we’re just going to lay it aside this evening. There’s not any benefit tonight in spending a ...read more
