Sermons on Time Shift:

Fullness Of Time

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 2, 2021

The birth of Christ did not happen all of the sudden. From the beginning of creation, this plan of God of sending His Son into the world was revealed. In Galatians, Paul describes a moment in history when everything was in place and the stage was all set for Christ to be born.

Now Is The Time! Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Oct 2, 2021

His final statement in chapter 5 deals with his ministry of reconciliation. The first two verses in the sixth chapter ...read more
