Always Choose God's Grace Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Apr 6, 2009

Because God is a Gracious God, He will love every person, whether that person is like Jacob who was promised by God, or ordinary people like Leah, Rachel, and Laban; but every person can choose to separate from God’s blessings.

Our Always True God Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 17, 2011

Once Saved Always Saved?

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 6, 2012
