    Cut The Ropes Now

    Contributed by Steve Mays on Nov 21, 2013
     | 9,228 views

    The most dangerous thing in the whole world is an unbroken Christian—a Christian who feels that he doesn’t need anything.

    The Spirit's Role In Conversion Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Dec 2, 2013
     | 10,734 views

    The Holy Spirit has a vital role in our conversion. This lesson shows how the Spirit uses His sword to convict us and to bring us to repentance.

So much of the New Testament focuses on Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for our sins. But ...read more
