The Return Of Jesus: A Shining Sun In Our Christian Sky Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 12, 2024

The word tells us not to grieve for the dead in Christ like the rest of the world. Because though the world doesn’t have hope, we have an eternal hope.

The Jesus Way Series

As Christians, our choices are much like Israel’s choices in the period of the judges. We can assimilate; we can allow the surrounding culture to absorb us without a whimper. Or, we can determine that, by the grace of God, we will be salt and light in the places where God places us and sends us.

The Sermon On The Mount (Part Six) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 23, 2019

Chaos In Chaotic Times – This Is Our World Now Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
