Faith Or Works? Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 12, 2018

In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more

Contend For The Faith

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 17, 2018

Childlike Faith

Jesus calls us to become like a little child if we ever hope to enter the kingdom of God. We must have faith like a little child, become dependent like a little child, and receive the kingdom as a gift of God.

Childlike Faith Mark 10:13-16 Have you ever known someone who refused to grow up? Kind of like when Tom Hanks played a kid in the 1988 movie, “Big”?

Faith Promise

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 26, 2017
