Sermons on Pass The Buck:

One Nation...

Contributed by Veronica Coldiron on Jul 15, 2008

This sermon is a look at the state of our union in retrospect to the Word and the consequences of turning from the power of God on a national level. It also offers a means to repair the damage that has been done.

Contributed by Norbert Garcia on Mar 25, 2011

What happens when we decide to take matters into our own hands instead of following Christ?

Jehovah Mckaddesh Series

Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Oct 28, 2010

God is the Lord who makes us holy. Sanctification is a process - a journey all of us as Christians are on. Recognize the journey, remember the destination, request help with roadblocks, refuel often and rejoice in your progress.
