We must reconcile what Christ did with what we believe. Sin i...

Today, Bishop Rodgers teaches from Romans 6:1-6 on "Living the New Life." Christian living depends on Christian learning. Duty is always founded on doctrine.

Therefore, whatever happened to Christ has hap...

Dry humor is a form of delivery in which something humorous is said or done by a person, while not exhibiting a change in emotion or facial expression.

Today, Bishop Rodgers teaches from Philippians 4:8 on "Lightening Up Your Thoughts." Peace involves the heart and mind.
