Only The Truth Can Prevail

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Apr 21, 2015

Faith, Hope And The Resurrection

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 18, 2015

Jesus gives us salvation, but only if we repent and are baptized in his name. The Holy Spirit gives power to God’s people, the end times are here, the Messiah has come and a message of salvation must be preached.

The reading from Acts 2:14, 22-32 is part of the first sermon ever preached. It was in response to the disciples’ speaking in tongues on the Day of Pentecost. When the disciples spoke in tongues, some people in the crowd thought that they were drunk. Peter stated that this was not true ...read more

One Lord, One Gospel

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jan 14, 2017

Salvation is for everyone; even those who don't resemble us. With Christ’s help, we can put aside the partiality that binds us, and love people as He does.

According to a summary of the study in The Wall Street Journal, "The further from native-sounding an accent ...read more
