To Swerve Or Not To Swerve? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 6, 2016

The Jews and Jewish believers so cherished Moses, they were tempted to exalt him above Jesus, or to make them equals. Jesus demands to be our primary loyalty.

To Swerve or Not to Swerve? (Hebrews 3:1-14) 1. Doug Anderson recently shared a joke with me that illustrates the distinction between cause and correlation. Here goes. An Amish man and his son are at the shopping mall for the first time. They see two shiny doors open (an elevator) and an elderly ...read more

Revelation - Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Sep 2, 2015

Last time we looked at the parable of the sower, which describes how the individual is or is not open to the gospel. Now we turn outward to look at how the gospel spreads. First century ...read more
