What are "dragons" like and how do we handle them?

We are almost done with our study of the Book of Job.

Let No-One Put Asunder

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

Christian marriage is sacred. This short sermon describes what the biblical definition of marriage is and what the biblical grounds for divorce are. God hates divorce so therefore divorce should only be the very last option in any marriage.

Both Saint And A Sinner

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024

In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more
