Three Widows In Moab Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 17, 2020

As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

License To Kill Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 24, 2020

Crescendo (August 18, 2019).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Jesus shared with his audience then and his congregation today that life is not always a rose garden. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Some who are open to the gospel are often rejected by those who oppose it and sometimes they are family members.

Unashamed

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 14, 2021

Why is it that we can express our love and devotions to our Lord Jesus when together with the church, but fail to do so when we are going on with our daily lives?
