Where Is Your Free Will Taking You? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 1, 2019

Our free will is what got us in trouble in the first place. And unless we surrender it willingly and we are completely certain we don't ever want it back; God will not take it away from us.

As a matter of fact; our conscious involvements are expected of us by the divine. Jesus' parable of the three talents ...read more

Stewardship, Generosity, And Giving Are Not The Same Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 19, 2018

To help you understand the biblical position I will be taking on this matter of stewardship, let me ask you a simple question: If you made $1,000 last week, ...read more
