He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Wheat And Tares) # 2

And the Bible said that He taught them many parables. For example, in our scripture today, He used the parable of “The ...read more

Various Responses To The Generous God

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Sep 4, 2009

For many years, I saw God’s Word as something that had to be laboured through. As something that only ...read more

Sown among Rocks Introduction: During our Wednesday night service, Pedro had a great point about our church during our testimony service and it spurred a thought, that I want to expound upon today about the true gospel church and about the true gospel convert.

Instant Christian
