After all, for the past three years that is exactly what each of the Twelve have done.
The Call of Mary

A New Commandment
In the closing hours before His crucifixion, Jesus imparts a profound and significant commandment to His disciplesâone that embodies the essence of His ministry and the centerpiece of His message.

Risen Indeed!
This is the first sermon in the series, “This is Love!” Of all the words ever spoken, none have echoed through the ages and changed the course of history as the words spoken by an angel at an empty grave: “He is not here. He is risen!” In Baptist churches, on Sunday morning, we celebrate the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul had much to say about Faith: 2 Corinthians 4:18Â Â While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
