52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 29: Hosea)
Jim takes us to Hosea to think about how we fail to take God seriously and live in accordance to His will. It’s a great, challenging message worth a few moments of your time.
Religion Freedom Progresses in Central Asia
Central Asia has another nation starting to stan for religious freedom.
“In Kazakhstan, all denominations can freely follow their religion,” said Yerzhan Nukezhanov, chairman of the committee for religious affairs, “and we will continue to create all necessary conditions for religious freedom.”

Why did God create me? How does understanding who God is help us to better understand His love for us? As we begin a new series looking at core beliefs the Bible teaches, we start at the one who starts everything: God. (If you’re interested, we’re working our way through the Little Hills/FaithTree statement of faith — you can check that out and then we’ll cover a portion of it each week by looking at what the Bible teaches on that subject.)
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 28: 2 Timothy)
Paul says we should remember the “sound words.” What does that mean? How does that apply to us? I think often today, we’re not really even sure what “sound words” are; let’s think about that for a moment.
