The beginning of the answer to this question is found in the creation of Adam and Eve. “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.’ . . . Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made… Month Archive Read More
“Thank you, Pastor. That was very encouraging!” remarked Daniel, concentrating on each word lest his stutter once again get the best of him. The Word of God, unsurprisingly, shows itself to transcend culture, geography, time, and circumstance. The text for that morning was taken from Habakkuk and the sermon was one preached several times before.… Month Archive Read More
“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20). In 1931 a layman, William Arndt, moved to Jamestown, North Dakota, with his family. Eight souls gathered in his home in August of that year to hear the Gospel preached by Rev. Eugene Hinderer, a Wisconsin… Month Archive Read More
