Trustworthy Saying - Part 3

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 14, 2024

A Sower Went Out To Sow

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 13, 2025

But seriously, the word God has for us today, is very direct, heavily relies on scripture, (as most of His messages do), and doesn’t need elaboration.

Good morning! I have a VERY short message for us today. The same apostle that wrote Romans, wrote (fa-LEE-mon) Philemon. I’m not sure if (fa-LEE-mon) was so short because Paul had a meal waiting, or simply because what he had to say, needed to be succinct, short and sweet! Today…I’ve got lunch ...read more
