Abortion Is Killing Those God Values More Than The Whole World!

Contributed by John Wright on Jan 25, 2010

God Values You, And Your Voice (Exodus 32:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2023

God has given us a seat in his divine council, and we have a voice-- a say-- in what happens in the world.

The Credible Christian Man Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2002

To be credible as Christians, men need to acknowledge their dependence on God in everything, to make God their first priority, to make their spiritual security more important than their financial security, humbly admit their mistakes and express their sex

You may wonder whether a sermon in a Sunday service is the place to be talking about being a credible Christian man, given that at least half the congregation are women, but let me suggest that at least some of what we’ll talk about today is equally relevant to women, and even those bits that ...read more
