Knowing Christ (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

When we mortify the flesh, refusing to feed the hungry beast of our carnal nature, we suffer. Suffering for righteousness' sake helps us to know Christ.


Back to Life (Part Three)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Jesus' deliberately delayed His return to Bethany until Lazarus had died so that He could bolster the faith of Martha and His other disciples, then and now.

Christianity Is a Fight! (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh
