The Only Priest Who Matters Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 7, 2021

Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

Money Talks

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jun 17, 2014

Money speaks about us, our relationship to God, and what we value. What does money say about you? If Jesus watched you give, what would His opinion of your giving be?

Contributed by John Parker on Nov 17, 2000

Looking at tithing from an aspect of Worship, Holiness, Obedience, Love and Evangelism

The WHOLE Tithe I know what you're thinking. He sure talks a lot about this whole money, offering and tithing thing. He must just be another of those money-hungry, hands-always-out preachers.
