Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 28, 2021

We hear much today about self-proclaimed preachers who seem to care little about the Lord and His Holy Word but seem to care a great deal about their wealth and popularity. Phinehas and Hophni were not so concerned about popularity but they certainly cared about their creature comforts!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 11, 2025

Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

You are God's children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.” (ERV) As Paul addressed the believers in the church at Galatia, he reminded them that they were no longer slaves. He prompted ...read more
