How To Be A Christian Citizen Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015

Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

Kingdom Life Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Sep 13, 2019
