Eat This Book
Most meals are just O.K. Not great. Not memorable. Just O.K. And that’s O.K. Because, most importantly, meals are about survival. Food sustains us through the labors of the day.

Sermon Manuscript: Security and God’s Call (Genesis 11.27-12.9)

And when you read the life of Abraham in the Old Testament, …

Paul issues the strongest warning he ever gives to these teachers …
