And we’re told “IT CAME TO PASS, that as He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshiped Him, ...read more

Many of God’s people have let the pandemic dampen their desire to Worship God. With the ...read more

    Will It Be Milk Or Meat?

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 12, 2014
    based on 55 ratings
     | 27,452 views

Paul begins the 3rd chapter of his letter by telling the Corinthians that there are two levels of ...read more
