One of the great questions that faces our day is the question of why there are so many denominations around us.

Paul condemned the factious … Continue reading “Why Is The Religious World Divided? – Bible Lessons”

Recently I was asked this very important question. It is a question about which many people have pondered.

It is a question, however, that is begging to be answered by millions and … Continue reading “Why Are There So Many Denominations? – Bible Lessons”

A couple of weeks ago in the bulletin we looked at the question, “What is our greatest challenge?” The answer to that question is that our greatest challenge is ourselves.
