God’s Word Brings Revival Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 6, 2016

How do we respond to God’s word? Is it a casual experience, or something that we treasure every day we are able? Are we reminded of what God has done because we spend time in His word? How we treat His word is a tremendous invitation to others.

The Refuge

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 9, 2014

God provided cities of refuge for the man in trouble. It was not an afterthought but planned for, even before Israel enters the Promised Land. God is merciful. He is our refuge and strength.

This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more
