Jesus described the various signs that will accompany ‘End Times’ as ‘the beginning of birth pains.’ Painful, but the ...read more

Contributed by Troy(Pastor) Dingwell on Dec 19, 2009

A message about God speaking to each of us and asking what if we were to know that this was to be our last Christmas, and would it change our thinking and attitude.

Sermon On Continual Growth And Progress

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 30, 2022

Continual Growth is defined as a constant progression of something such as an industry, organization, or an idea, its development in size, and the resulting improvement or importance.
