Baptism Is A Gift We Receive Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 4, 2014

God loved us so much that He gave up His only begotten Son, as the blood-price of our justification. You and I first enter that covenant when we, or our parents and godparents, make covenant promises to God at our baptism.

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 23, 2013

God could have had Abraham put a tattoo on his arm or any one of a thousand other signs, but instead He chose the sign of circumcision? Why in the world? And, beyond that, what relevance does that have for Christians today?

What Is Your Calling? Series

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Apr 20, 2011

We all are called to ministry by God. Just like with Abraham, God takes us from nothing and shapes us as his man or woman to serve his purposes.
