The Salvation Of Israel Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Apr 3, 2009

Paul is summarizing his grand argument in Romans 11 regarding God’s plan of salvation for Jews and Gentiles. It is so amazing that no one could have come up with it on his own.

Do Your Ears Itch?

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Oct 28, 2007

It seems like so many people have been revamping God’s Word lately, to make it less offensive, or more inclusive, or less intrusive into our personal behavior. Many of these people are clergy, which is even more disheartening.

(Psalm 19:14) Do your ears itch? It seems like so many people have been revamping the Word of God lately, to ...read more

Hope Is Alive

Contributed by Jarrod Jones on Apr 6, 2016

Hope is so much more than crossed fingers and waiting for the unknown to happen or not happen. Hope in the resurrected Jesus means that although your world is shaken, your soul will not be. Pastor Jarrod shares this hope in today’s message.

In an ESPN interview last month, a reporter shared what NBA super-star, Steph Curry, said regarding his “killer instinct” in playing opposing teams. He said, “I want to make them lose all hope.” That’s a zinger. And Curry does an exceptional job doing that. Ponder ...read more

Contributed by Tim George on Jul 13, 2001

James reminds us that our words can be the most powerful force known to man. Words can set the course of individuals and nations. Consider what God has to say to us about the way we speak.
