Let’s Bless God! Series

Contributed by Thomas Cash on Feb 16, 2010

Sacrifices To God Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 21, 2020

Backtrack To The Bible Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

When dealing with perilous times brought on by a corrupt culture, the Apostle Paul knew the answer: it was to go back to godly living and the foundation of truth as found in the Word of God. This was his counsel to Timothy in II Timothy 3.

Existentialism and Post-modernism have taught us to focus on ourselves and selfishly pursue our own desires despite the consequences. Instead of the church affecting ...read more
