Eternal Life From The Good Samaritan

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Jesus is the Good Samaritan. He stepped into our cesspool of sin. He stooped down, soiling His hands to pick you up. He brings you to the inn of the Church, where the innkeepers, His pastors, look to your eternal needs.

Finding Jesus Through Suffering

Here Is A Trustworthy Saying

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 17, 2018

As pastors we know that proof texting is dangerous. It is even more dangerous to take two fragments of a "Trustworthy Saying" that spans three verses and use them to support a doctrine. With that in mind lets take a look at 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

Please open your Bibles to 2 Timothy 2:1-13 which we will read in a few minutes. 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus are letters written to specific ...read more
