From Rejection To Reconciliation Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

To review the entire scope of the book of Romans I am preaching through, Romans, 1-8 is ...read more

Who Am I?

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Feb 25, 2007

We spend so much of our lives unsure of the answer to this question. If I don’t know who I am, then what I stand for and what I believe in are easily swayed by circumstances. Knowing who I am is critical to getting through life.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.

Do You Love Me?

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 3, 2025
