The Least Of These

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2022

Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

Contributed by Rick Chapman on Dec 22, 2022

There is a small inscription etched in that side mirror and I want to use that little line as the topic of this sermon this morning, It reads, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Jesus Sympathizes.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 7, 2021

David: Man Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 30, 2024
