Achan Vs Rahab

Contributed by James Rich on Oct 18, 2001

The Real Us

Contributed by Tim Carper on Sep 8, 2007

I want us to take a long hard look at ourselves this morning and glean some truths from Paul’s words. I want us to look at our condition, our need and what God has done to meet that need and then our response to God’s actions.

We, at times, don’t like the real us! Now before you attack that statement, listen to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons: since 1997 there has been an increase of 444 percent in the total number of elective cosmetic procedures. Surgical procedures have increased ...read more

What Does God Want From Me Anyway? Series

Contributed by Tim Diack on Apr 18, 2011

Why Missions Work Is Fishy

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on May 30, 2009

World Religions - 2 Hinduism Series

Contributed by Chris Surber on Nov 13, 2008

All things are not equal. All roads do not lead to the same destination. Our experience bears this out. Who among us would trust our own guesses when traveling on a long road trip of many hundreds of miles rather than trusting a compass and a map? Let

Silent Night
