A God Given Purpose

Contributed by Travis Leib on May 31, 2015

Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

Certainly one of the most frequent question I deal with as a Pastor, is the question of "What is my purpose?" It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more

Paul Before Festus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 28, 2017

Those two years that Paul languished in prison are silent years in the life of Paul. Perhaps he was exasperated by it all. We don’t know. We do know that the hand of God was discernible in all this, and His purposes were carried out.

A Witness To The Faith

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 11, 2017
