Who Is Jesus Christ?

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Aug 12, 2023

It may seem like a simple question for believers, and even a tougher question for non-believers. We may know of or heard about Jesus Christ, but have we taken the time to know who He is? Once we know who Jesus Christ is, we can see how He exists.

Frail Frames Forecast Future Fixedness

Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Jul 28, 2008

The Blind See Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 28, 2009

If you want to gain true wisdom in the midst of your pain, don’t be like those who WON’T SEE, and don’t be like those who CAN’T SEE. Instead, be like those who DO SEE, because they let Jesus touch them not just once, but as many times as it takes.

It’s amazing what a brief description we’re given of such a world changing event, isn’t it?

The Fall And Rise Of Humanity

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 17, 2021

Today's message looks at "The Fall of Humanity." But it moves beyond to look at humanity's rise once again. It also looks at the process of temptation, including questioning and denying God's word, and how that leads to misinterpreting God's motives in giving His word.

Christmas In The Rearview Mirror?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 28, 2022
