Growing Wider Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 19, 2024

We make disciples by telling others about our Jesus. But how do we do that, and what does it look like when we do?

The Transforming Gospel

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 10, 2001

Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

Who Is Melchizedek? Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001
