Am I My Brother's Keeper?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 13, 2025

A New Command

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 13, 2019

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).

Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more

The Big Secret… "Hate What God Hates And Love What God Loves”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 27, 2025

In this sermon I want to begin with this parable that I just read to you called the Grood Samaritan.
