Why God Gets Angry

Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 20, 2019

The Fall - The Ultimate Guide To The Perfect Family Series

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Mar 10, 2020

We’re not going to rehearse all of the familiar details of Adam and Eve’s family flaws. What we’re going to look at is HOW GOD RESPONDED to their flaws. Because it is observing how God responded that gives us hope.

And so do you for that matter! The fact is that we are all flawed, but we’re not flawed beyond hope! ...read more

The Root Of Immorality

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 29, 2020

Have the professed people of God permitted themselves to be compromised by the world to such an extend that they are powerless against wickedness? Though the thought is frightful, Christians need to assess our relationship with the Living God.

The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity. And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds. They shall eat, ...read more

Messy Grace Series

Contributed by Dave Vance on Jan 20, 2019

When Grace Meets Our Mess

What makes grace unmerited, undeserved, and unearned?
