Drop It Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022

I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more

Happy Father’s Day! I was a child of the ‘50’s – it was the golden age of television. And it was television that taught us what fatherhood was all about.

Christmas And Love - The Connection

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Dec 16, 2021

Judgement From The Rude Throne

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2022
