Sermons on Reaching Hands:

Absolutely Persuaded Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul's claim is not that all is good, but that God is great, and He will see that nothing hinders His chosen ones from reaching the highest good, which is the redemption of His soul and its transformation into the image of Christ.

The 8th chapter of Romans is a spiritual palace of comfort and challenge built for the children of God.

Contributed by Greg Warren on Apr 8, 2013

Go!

Contributed by Andy Payne on Feb 23, 2009

It comes from a directive issued by Jesus himself to his disciples just prior to his ascension into heaven. We find it in ...read more

The Mending Of Our Minds

Contributed by Richard Lankford on Jul 25, 2022

Let Your Light Shine Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 12, 2023
