Turn to Habakkuk 2:4. We will get there in a moment. Over the years I have heard countless sermons and teachings on faith – and that is a good thing. A person cannot be a Christian and not live by faith. The truth that a Christian must live by faith is found in both the Old and New ...read more

On The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Apr 5, 2022

Everybody is religious. Many make up their own rules - about worship, about money, about sex, about the environment, about politics. Jesus isn't the Messiah many want Him to be. The Pharisees plotted to kill him. People today reject Him and dismiss Him and ignore Him. Are you a Pharisee?

ON THE SABBATH MATTHEW 12:1-2 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Question: ...read more
