I never know how many people are tuning in, but I can see how many computers are opening the video and we have a great group in our “class” for a summer series. Session… Continue reading Bacon Anyone?
Summer School?
Did you ever have to go to summer school? After transferring from four different colleges, I needed to go to summer school two years to catch up and graduate with my class. Generally speaking, it was no fun. But in our summer school, we are going to have fun and learn life-changing truths! Our teacher is the Apostle Paul,… Continue reading Summer School?

Resurrection
Today we come to the end of our series The Story of Jesus. Session #28 explores the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s Easter at Christmas!

The Loving Father
Greetings to all you prodigals out there. You know who you are. In Jesus’ day, the religious leaders criticized Jesus for being a friend to the renegades, sinners, and prodigals. Of course, the truth is, we are all prodigals. The Pharisees, Scribes, and Priests did get it. They also didn’t get that God loves prodigals. Their image of who God is… Continue reading The Loving Father
Life After Death
