Teaching

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 4, 2022

This morning I would like to continue along the lines of what a Christian is and does. I know we are salt and light, and we do this as we are Christlike. But let's consider one other thought today, that Christians are teachers. I know some of you already tuned me out. You say, “Preacher I'm ...read more

Christ’s Childhood Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011

As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

The best example for fathers is, of course, found in scripture. I'm going a little unorthodox with what ...read more
