    what does it take to be disciples of Christ; Jesus call to discipleship; who were the twelve Apostles

    The Galatians wanted to put restrictions on the new Gentile converts in their church. But Paul put his foot down...

    The little churches in Galatia were facing a serious issue—and they didn’t know what to do about it. It may seem surprising, but their problem revolved around the fact that they were growing. And the new people (there seemed to be more and more of them all the time!) just weren’t fitting in. It ...read more

    The survivors of the Babylonian destruction had a terrible time. Even to get food was very risky, and because of starvation, the famine caused the skin to become hot, and earlier on, dry like wood. The army raped the women in all of Judah. We consider that infamy of debased men.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 42 – OBTAINING FOOD COULD MEAN DEATH; STARVATION CAUSED OVEN-HOT SKIN; WOMEN WERE RAPED BY BABYLON - Lamentations 5:8-11 Currently we are in the last chapter of the book with all the grievances written in short statements. All these are sad and we can not begin ...read more

    The purpose of this message is to challenge you to develop deeper relationships within the church and in effect enhance your own personal relationship with God.

    Humor: Years ago, Leslie Flynn penned a book called, Great Church Fights. In it he chronicled the way people in different churches would go after each other – all in the name of Jesus Christ.

    This picture, much less this statement, surprises a lot of people. Some people think a deity ought to behave differently. Gods, so the popular image goes, sit far off, throw lightning bolts, or send angels. What kind of god would get so close to his su
