    Contributed by Ricky Cox on Aug 5, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,071 views

     | 757 views

    This is the second message in this series on The Laws of Almighty God. The one thing we learned in the first sermon in this series is that a law is a proven fact, which works EVERY TIME for EVERY ONE!

    Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY. For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.” It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity ...read more

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service.
