Lost And Found

Contributed by James May on Feb 27, 2022

We may lose some things that may be desirable in this life by surrendering our lives to Jesus, but the life we gain is far greater than anything we have now. And the life in Christ is always learned through the preaching of the Word, in whatever form it comes to us.

Burden For The Lost

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 2, 2024

Luke 15:20 The prodigal son has returned to the Father, but there are many elder sons who still have not returned to the Father. ...read more

Loved But Lost Series

This is the story of the rich young ruler who, unlike the rich old ruler, Nicodemus, did not come to Jesus by night, but came to Him publicly in the daytime. All three of the synoptic Gospels tell the story, and each add something extra to the total picture. Matthew tells us he was young. Luke ...read more
