Are You Sick? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2009

Jesus tweaks the argument of who is in control just a little bit to introduce the real sickness in mankind - sin. He is in control of that too. Are you willing to give Him control over your total cleansing from evil?

We saw a couple of notable examples in a Gentile ...read more

The Paradox Of Judging

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Dec 3, 2021
