The Heart Of Your Problem Is The Problem Of Your Heart Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018

The reason we like traditions, whether it’s washing your hands or dressing up for church, is that it is something we can do outwardly and feel good about ourselves.

INTRODUCTION Part of this message is about traditions. Why do we do the things we do? Sometimes we do them because we’ve always done them the same way and we never questioned the reason.

Reaching Critical Mass Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 13, 2021

Pleading For God's Mercy Series

God Honors A Contrite Spirit

Contributed by Val Black on Jul 14, 2006
