God’s Super-Abounding Grace Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Mar 1, 2016

The cure for those who are in Jesus by faith is much more powerful than the curse for those who are in Adam by nature

It seems that almost every time I turn on my TV lately there is a commercial for some new prescription drug.

Murder & Anger Series

Contributed by Charl Swart on Mar 10, 2016

Anger is something that can ruin your life. It is the root of murder and should therefore be treated at the root. You should not act on unrighteous anger, but should live in righteousness. Jesus shows us how He filfills the Law of murder.

Who Is The Antichrist? Daniel 10-12 Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 23, 2015

One of the most incredible prophecies of Holy Scripture leads right into a close-up of the Man of Sin!

4. DANIEL'S TENTH THROUGH TWELFTH CHAPTERS I will refer to Daniel 10-12 as one chapter, as they tell one story, one prophecy. There should be no chapter divisions here, especially between chapters 11 and 12. Daniel 8 tells of one whose ancestry goes back to Alexander’s kingdom and who ...read more

Fruitful Frustration Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
