Good News Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 24, 2017

Fake News Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Aug 23, 2018

A New Covenant

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

Before Jesus can bring about the New Covenant He must ride into Jerusalem as was prophesied by Zechariah. The Temple courts have become a market of greed and gain instead of a place of spiritual discourse. What has worship become in our day and age?
