This short sermon seeks to encourage people to be men and women of their word.

What Are We Feeding?

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 5, 2011

Using Colossians and Acts, we explore the validity of what we are preaching to our congregations.

The question our churches need to start asking ourselves is, "What are we feeding to the congregation?"

What's A Preacher To Do? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022

There’s a phrase that’s popular in modern discussions of any number of topics, and that phrase is this: “an 800 pound gorilla in the room.” An example would be this line which I plucked from a blog entry on the international economy as it ...read more
