At Calvary – Episode 116 – New in Christ
Last week we thought about the song, “But the Cross.” It talks about being new because of Jesus. What does it mean to be new in Christ? It doesn’t mean we won’t have problems. It doesn’t mean that the circumstances of our life suddenly change. So what does it mean? Let’s think about that together…

We Can Worship. Will We?
We read in the Psalms, “Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. 3 Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4…
