Heaven Is A World Of Love Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Love is the God-given proof that you are Christ’s disciples (John 13:35). This is a message about the future but it is also a map for the present. Since ...read more

Which Cross Is Yours

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Dec 6, 2016

• The greatest picture of love ever displayed was when Jesus died on the cross. It was not because of His guilt, it was not the hammer, the nails, the crown, or the abuse that Jesus died, it was His love; it was the love He had for you and me. But never miss this critical part. • He didn’t just ...read more
