  44. Judges 4-5 | The God of the unexpected

    I watch a lot of movies and one thing I have come to expect from sequels is that, your essentially going to get the same plot, just in a different situation.

  48. Christ confronts culture | Is the bible outdated?

    Most of us grow up with the unquestioned belief in “progress.” We hear it all the time at our schools, that you can be whatever you want to be.

  49. 1 Corinthians 15:12-33 | A Tale of Two giants

    Last week, on September 8, the coded message was delivered—“London Bridge is down.” That was the signal communicating the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
