The House On The Rock

The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most well known and most celebrated sermons in all of history, and for good reason. Nothing gives us as much insight into how Jesus wanted his followers to act than this powerful and brilliant sermon. It is basically his manifesto, laying out the cause and purpose […]

Fear’s Biggest Fear

Fear is quite possibly the most intimidating four letter word in the entire world. When the Bible speaks of “men’s hearts failing them for fear” it isn’t exaggerating. That literally happens.
