    Most of the church today is being enticed by a fatal attraction that is pulling them away from God. What is a fatal attraction? A fatal attraction is that which in the beginning seems attractive and irresistible, but in the end, it will totally destroy you.

    Turn to Exodus the 20th chapter as we delve into the Word of God with this sermon, "The Fatal Attraction". Consider the barrage of benefits to America if we would obey the Ten Commandments.

    7 Things The Cross Of Calvary Provided For Us

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I don’t normally wear a cross but several years ago when I was pastoring in Columbus, I had real nice cross that was part of my installation as pastor dress.
