The Comfortable Cross Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 28, 2014

Many baptized believers attempt to avoid offending the world by not standing up for the cross because they feel they'd risk too much by doing so. But we've died supposedly died to this world and its attractions. How can we do that?

Sowing Seeds In A Cemetery

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002

Have your dreams died? Do you think the future holds no hope for you. Think again! God can raise up things that have died.......if He can get us to believe Him.

The Return Of Christ Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022

Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more
