Sermons on Systemic Abuse:

Healing From Anger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 27, 2021

One of the mightiest emotions we have inside of us is our anger. We feel intense anger when something horribly wrong or unjust is done, say the sexual abuse of a child, or some blatant racial discrimination, or your wife has betrayed marriage vows and committed adultery with another person.

How's Our Faith?

Contributed by Paul Norwood on May 7, 2018

As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.
