A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

Share With Me

Contributed by Larry Grant on Oct 15, 2022

The world capitalized on our fears. Whether it’s the floods, fires or foreign interference in our elections, war in the East or the attempted overthrow of our government, Paul teaches, “Fear is NOT of GOD!” For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7-9 (NKJV) “SHARE WITH ME” October 16, 2022 Summary: Timothy was a young man who was being mentored by Paul.

The Palestinian Covenant Of God With Israel

Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Mar 12, 2024
