The Fellowship Of The Church

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 20, 2007

The fellowship of the church is critical for our growth. Fellowship is all about relationships, not activity. God is in the fellowship. It is about the meeting of needs.

Studies In Genesis: Chapter 40 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. What happened in Genesis 39? So Joseph winds up in jail for a crime that he did not commit. This seems to be cruel and ...read more
