    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 2, 2014
     | 4,056 views

    The "Shema" (Deuteronomy 6.4) is packed full of meaning and depth. No wonder Jesus quotes it in regard to the greatest command! In this lesson we consider God speaking and whether or not we are listening (i.e., obeying).

    Jesus gives us salvation, but only if we repent and are baptized in his name. The Holy Spirit gives power to God’s people, the end times are here, the Messiah has come and a message of salvation must be preached.

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 7,063 views

I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    That’s what God does, we can’t love like He does, we can’t give like He does, we are helpless, yet He loves us!
