    Three thousand years ago, the LORD God chose a young man by the name of David to be the king of Israel. Out of all the sons of Jesse, God's favor came to rest on David.

     | 5,663 views

    Christ is the only door into heaven. We have two ways – to follow Him or not! The choice is ours and our eternity is based on just that choice!

    Opening illustration: In the marketplace of ideas, all vendors have an equal right to sell what they believe. But that doesn’t mean all their ideas are equally right. Christians proclaim that Jesus is the only way to God not because they are bigots but because they believe it is true. They ...read more

  • Choose Life

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
