    In the first message, I preached on having a Happy Church. We saw that the first thing we have to do is recognize the purpose of the church.

For example: (1) Some seem to think the purpose of the church is for us to come together and see if we can build a more beautiful church building than the church down the ...read more

    God's Word Is Perfect Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022
     | 4,173 views

    Everything in life has flaws, that is, everything except the Bible! God's Word is perfect for three distinct reasons, and these reasons will change the way you look at your Bible.

    God’s Word is perfect because its author is perfect. Deut. 32:4-- “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Like a rock, God is firm and immovable. His work has always been perfect, from the very beginning of ...read more
