Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 4, 2020

I’m not exempt from that ...read more

Jesus Confronts Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

The Significance Of The Small Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

To an infinite God everything is small, and He seems to favor the small even from the human perspective. The small is the foundation for both His physical creation and His spiritual kingdom.

God loves to get His will done in this world by means of little things, little places, and little people.
