Lose Your Reputation Before God

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Feb 28, 2016

What! Church! Series

Contributed by Karl Popke on Dec 19, 2019

What is the Church about? Why do we go to church? The Church has a mission, it has a goal. Jesus calls us to represent the kingdom of God. We are to be living messengers noted by Jesus prayer in Jn. 17: 23, "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me."
