Sacrificial Service Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jun 12, 2016

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 10, 2013

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 10, 2009

December 1989: We choose not to participate in mission and ministry because we do not want to look foolish. Jesus transforms looking foolish into a redemptive model.

John the Baptist had doubts as to Jesus being the Messiah so asked for evidence, receiving details of His Mission and Identity and a Commendation.

JOHN THE BAPTIST AND THE MESSIAH John the Baptist was a great personality, very much in the mould of the Old Testament prophets. In fact he was the last in their line.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 18, 2025

Today we begin a new series in the book of Lamentations. So few people read and study this amazing book written by Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem and Judah. It is a sad book dealing with the nation’s sorrow and sin that caused it. It is most informative.
