The Truth About Forgiveness
11/09/2019 Duration: 44min09.11.19 - The most ridiculous part of the Gospel also happens to be the most central: You. Are. Forgiven.

What's Right With Church: The Priests
07/09/2019 Duration: 31min09.08.19 - One of the best things about Church is that we exist for the sake of others. We’re not about ourselves, we’re for ministering and blessing the people around us in the name and manner of Christ. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

02/08/2019 Duration: 39min08.04.19 - The only way for the world to know that it is being redeemed is for the Church to point to the Redeemer by living as his redeemed people.

What's Right With Church: The People
28/07/2019 Duration: 31min07.28.19 - What bothers us is not the idea of Church or the abstract concept. It’s the people and the buildings, the money and the meetings, the hard hearts and hypocrisy.

07/07/2019 Duration: 36min07.07.19 - God’s Word promises that he is with us from cradle to grave, from honeymoon to hospice, every step of our lives.
