A sermon on the rocky love story of Hosea and Gomer (Modern day setting of the story provided by Allan R. Gunther in the book, Believers Church Bible Commentary: Hosea, Amos, pgs. 83-84)

When Unity Becomes Toxic

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2019

Yet, sometimes supposed unity masks for uniformity, and can quickly slip into pride and ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Illus: Just because a young person graduates from college and has a college diploma in his hands, the business world does not hire them as a ...read more
