How can you tell something is wrong unless someone tells you what is right? That’s the essence of the rest of Romans 1. Before ...read more

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

Sabbath Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 13, 2009

A lot of people have had questions about the purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus takes it head on and reveals a lot about how we should live our lives.
