The Shema.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 30, 2021

Sermon Title: The Shema. Scripture Text: Mark 12:28-34 Illustration: I was teaching the Senior Youth. I told them I could say the 10 commandment without saying them without memorization. Can you? In our text today, as usual, they were trying to trip Jesus up to entrap Him. Asking ...read more

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

This is accompanied by an increase in the conviction of sin, an increase in the consciousness of God’s mercy and our unworthiness. You see, a ...read more
