His Unspeakable Gift

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 19, 2017

The greatest gift we have is that of Christ. Paul describes it as indescribable. It is so because of incomprehensible love, an inexpressible sacrifice, and its inexplicable result.

His Unspeakable Gift – 2 Corinthians 9:12-15 In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul, writes about human gifts. During the 40s A.D., a famine swept across Judea, and Jerusalem Christians were in need. The church at Corinth took up offerings to give to the suffering Christians in Jerusalem. Paul commends them for ...read more

Zombies, Zonks & Magic Acts Series

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015

True Freedom Series

What Paul describes here definitely applies to us. Jesus has taken many captives, literally, He lead captivity captive.
