Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 26, 2024

What does the sin offering foreshadow about Jesus? Let's look at Leviticus 4.

Sent, Not Settled Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 27, 2024

Forgiveness is easy to talk and read about in the Bible. It’s when we have to put it into practice that it can be tough! Forgiveness is wonderful idea, until there’s something to forgive.
