Why Is Old Covenant Obsolete? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on May 20, 2019

We say we are Christians and Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, why do we allow anything (rituals, religions, entertainment, other people, etc....) take more time and focus than Christ, our New Covenant?

An Old Challenge For A New Year

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 24, 2021

Christ is the object of our life. As speeds the ship towards the port, so hastes the believer towards the haven of his Savior’s bosom. As flies the arrow to its goal, so flies the Christian towards the perfecting of his fellowship with Christ Jesus.
