Return To God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 13, 2019

The first call of prophet Zechariah was a call not to repeat the mistake of their forefathers and return to God while they still can. Now that they have returned to their homeland, they are to stay faithful to God.

Zechariah is not an easy book to read and understand, but we will try and learn together over these few months.

Contributed by John Gaston on May 19, 2021

We think of ourselves as people of the Book, but when the Word of the Lord contradicts our lifestyle, we practice "selective hearing." God says, "Get off the fence! Get on the Lord's side or on the world's side!"

These Are The Days Of Elijah

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 20, 2021

The Only Way To Salvation!

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 6, 2023

There is only one way to be saved. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me." Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Reject Him, and you reject everlasting life!
