Being In The Inside Group Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 28, 2016

Jesus took that group that had no citizenship in Israel & made them fellow-heirs (not exactly shared citizenship-we'll talk about that next time). So the outside group is now inside the inside group. Then He brought both together as super-insiders. We are all in Christ.

The Root Of Heresy

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 26, 2017

What is heresy, and what do we do about it?

The Root of Heresy “And ye shall be as gods; knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:5b The word “heresy” and the related word “heretic” are pejorative terms.
