  • Deals, specials, coupons, etc
  • Other things to be announced over the course of the year

In recent days I have added a new, downloadable teaching series from R.C. Sproul. Chosen by God is one of his classic series (that later became one of his most widely-read books). Here is a brief description:

After all, the Jews and Samaritans worshipped in different places, each convinced theirs was the right and best place. But Jesus answered in a way neither Jew nor Samaritan would…
