1. The Generous Employer Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007

In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

Shaping The Next Generation

Contributed by Brian Williams on May 16, 2023

We can, by the power of the Spirit be part of shaping the next generation and encouraging them to take a stand for the Lord, to speak up for truth and what is right when the world is telling Christians to sit down and keep our convictions to ourselves.
