Preaching The Whole Gospel

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 29, 2007

Many of the problems we’re experiencing the church in America can be traced back to the fact that we’re only preaching part of the gospel ("believe in Jesus") while ignoring the rest of the basic gospel message laid out by Paul in Romans.

The Masterpiece Of The Gospel: The Resurrection

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Mar 18, 2008

Michelangelo had his Sistine chapel, Leonardo DaVinchi had the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, and Van Gogh had his self portrait. There is no work of art that compares to God’s masterpiece the ...read more
