Giving Generously Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 14, 2023

You cannot out give God. You will never be able to match his matchless giving. But we can respond to his perfect gift of salvation in Jesus Christ by generous giving.

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 6, 2013

God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.
