Sunday Sermon Series – “Sprugeon on Interpteting Scripture” – 07/27/2025

While a case … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Sprugeon on Interpteting Scripture” – 07/27/2025

November 20, 2024

It may seem a little crazy but when I saw this morning’s Bible verse on my LOGOS home page, my first thoughts were folks think they know what they desire but rarely find what they want. My mind wandered to You’re The One That I Want (From “Grease”) and “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking … More Devotional/STUDY Thought for Today – “Desire” – 11/20/2024

Devotional Thought -“Whole Armor” – 10/01/2024

Yesterday’s posts included one from Todd Linn, entitled, Grace: Common And Effectual. The theme was soteriology, the study of the doctrine of salvation.
