The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2023

God's existence is obvious (Romans 1:18-20) through creation and our conscience. The evidence is there for anyone willing to take their blinders off, swallow their pride, and humble themselves.

The world cannot comprehend the idea of a precise, preconceived, set, rational, and personal creation of a God who is outside of space, time, and matter, and able to put everything into existence for a reason. They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more

Wake Up! Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 28, 2021

The Bible says to have no partnership with people who do these evil things. What kind of people am I to avoid? People who are sexually immoral, impure, greedy for people and things. Avoid partnering with people who speak trash, talk foolish, and joke crudely.

A twelve-year-old Taiwanese boy was visiting an art exhibit in 2015 when he accidentally tripped at a museum.

Does God Hate Homosexuals? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Two people of the same sex can try to get that deep kind of completion through a sexual friendship, which is homosexuality. The Bible says you can’t get that kind of completion, the completion we’re talking about in marriage, from somebody of the same sex.

Thank you for joining for this important topic, provocatively titled, “Does God Hate Homosexuals”? Two forces are colliding in the political and cultural landscape of our day: religious liberty and homosexuality ideology.

Are You Religious Or Not?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2024

Blindness (John 9)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 30, 2025

Are we spiritually and morally blind to Jesus and what He taught? Let's look at John 9.
