Understanding the Primary Components of the Gospel

A central lesson of the Old Testament is that we cannot disregard God’s truth and walk away unscathed – there are always consequences for transgressing God’s rules.
A Transformed Life
Paul was completely transformed; we should be, too. Christ in us changes everything, and we would do well to remember the differences daily.

Quarterback or Water Boy?
Humbly call on Jesus to be your boss, because the resurrected Christ only accepts the call when he is called to be in charge!
The Hazards of Church
Going to Church can be extremely hazardous, unless you make sure that you are truly saved!
