EASTER: THE INVISIBLE HAND @ WORK Easter: The greatest, the grandest and perhaps the most glorious happening ever recorded in The Bible.

You've Got Mail

Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Feb 3, 2006

God has spoken to us through Jesus Christ. He has sent us mail through Jesus who is the message and the messenger rolled into one.

Did I get any mail? This is one of the most common questions we find ourselves asking. I suppose all of us like to receive mail.

Transformed | Abraham, The Father Of Faith | Part One Series

Contributed by Ty Vanhorn on Mar 27, 2024

This series looks at Abraham's faith journey's beginning, middle, and end. Part One begins in John 8 with a woman caught in adultery and in danger of being stoned to death by those holding their readied stones, claiming Abraham as the father of their faith.
