John 1:43-51 “Called” INTRODUCTION One of my joys, as a pastor, is the opportunity that I have to listen to the spiritual journeys of many people.

Idol Thoughts

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015

Let us determine to know God and to worship him, not as some idol devised by our own natural preferences, not as many people configure him to be, but as “the book of nature” and the Holy Book together reveal him to be.

The two passages before us today [Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21] could not be more different from one another. And yet, in some ways, they could not be more similar. In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more

The Divine Calling Series

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Sep 17, 2015

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF ROMANS. I BELIEVE THAT PAUL TEACHES US THAT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO A DEEPER EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST, BUT A CHURCH EXPERIENCE ALONE MAY NOT LEAD TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
