Contributed by Michael Bolin on Jun 7, 2009

what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine.

Doesn’t it seem peculiar, ...read more

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 1, 2022

How many times have you seen a Capitol One commercial where you always hear the question, “What’s in your wallet?” As we hear today’s text a better question to ask is “What’s in your clay?” What’s in our clay that makes us resistant to how God is trying to mold us and shape us?
