Go! And Embrace The Power Of The Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 17, 2025

A simple yet profound truth: there is power in the cross of Christ. To the unbelieving world, the cross is a symbol of weakness and defeat. But to those of us who are being saved, the cross is not a relic of shame—it is the power of God!

Who Do You Trust?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

God is in control, even when the world seems out of control. Kings, Presidents, and Prime Ministers can’t fix everything. Legislation can’t make people ethical. Psalm 146 makes that clear: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.”

We live in a broken world. What can we do about it? We could anxiously obsess over all the turmoil and moral decay, or rest in God. Worry is fretting over things we can’t control. Prayer is taking our concerns to the One who can change things. God is in control, even when the world seems out ...read more
