Our Jesus Is Yes Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

The world of salvation begins with our own yes to the Gospel. Yes we say to God, I will receive your gift of eternal life in Christ. From then on every stage of growth is a stage we advance to by saying yes to God.

The Solemn Responsibility Of God's Prophets (Ezekiel 3:17-21)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 8, 2024

God entrusted men such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel with the task of warning the people about the consequences of disobedience against God. It is the sacred duty of all believers to both share their faith as well as to warn others about the wrath to come.
