Spirituality And Speed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

God said, "Quick, leave Jerusalem immediately." God is usually not in a hurry, but in His dealings with Paul in this chapter, the name of the game is speed.

Wives, Submit Yourselves To Your Husbands, As Is Fitting In The Lord. Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

Ladies, how does this make you feel? You ok with this? Are you immediately thinking of reasons for exceptions? What if ...read more

For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more
