Does God Care For Us?

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Jun 8, 2019

With so many things going on in this realm that we live in, there is no doubt in me that we all go through difficult times. So many are sick, have lost a loved one, have no job, are hurting, do not know where the next meal is coming from, many are disappointed in themselves or with their loved ...read more

Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

Ruth: Refugee With A Human Face

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 21, 2021

The Book of Ruth doesn't get much attention, but it can remind us that God sees refugees and can use them in his purposes.

I imagine we probably all have a favorite book of the Bible. The gospels should be high on everyone’s list because they tell us the story of Jesus. And when the church’s heart and mind are fixed on Jesus, everything comes together. When we lose sight of Jesus things go wrong. Luke is my ...read more
