The Devil Made Me Do It! Series

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 1, 2022

Can Christians willingly or unwillingly host demons inside our bodies? What do you think?

What Do You Crave? What Does God Crave? (James 4:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 5, 2022

The verses make best sense through non-Western eyes, in a non-Western church. So talked about an African church plant. Also, on how/when to ask God for money.

These verses, read as a whole, read as a response to a specific problem within the church, really don't make sense within the context of Western, white, evangelical Christianity. The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more

No Need For Idols (Isaiah 44:6-23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 2, 2024
