NO, NOT ONE! • Was ever a gift like the Savior given? NO, NOT ONE! • Will He refuse us a home in Heaven? NO, NOT ONE! But this song not only ...read more

How does Gods grace affect our lives, and are we willing to accept it, and turn away from what the world regards as important.

Jesus And The Resurrection: A Funeral Sermon

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 25, 2023

It is at the time of death of a loved one that we must come to grips with our own mortality.

Sermon: Preserving The Best Of Both Worlds Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 17, 2023

Jesus in this discourse helps us to realize the importance preserving the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins. New wineskins are flexible and easy to stretch, while old wineskins are difficult to stretch. How can we preserve the best of both worlds?
