"nimrod's Folly"
Contributed on Sep 5, 2023
From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.
It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties.

"influence And Impact"
Contributed on Jul 18, 2023
Christ's letter to Thyatira forces us to ask questions we normally don't consider. (Please let me know if this sermon indeed was helpful). Video: fruitportcrc.org
INTRODUCTION If Christ’s Pergamum letter was the hardest to understand, Christ’s letter to Thyatira is the hardest to relate to. Not only is their setting so foreign to our understanding, but the letter also forces us to ask questions we normally don’t consider. Slide 1 What outside ...read more
