The Jewishness Of Jesus

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Sep 19, 2013

The Bible was written by Jews for Jews thousands of years ago, in ancient languages and cultures that are vastly different from ours today. Making it all the more important to understand as much of those cultures as we can.

Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more
