Even in this digital age, we would be lost without signs. Signs warn us of danger. They communicate information to us. Signs help us navigate and let us know when we’ve reached our destination. The most important signs, however, are the ones that point us to our Savior, so that we can be 100% certain of our salvation. This morning and this week of …

But if God calls you a saint, just like everyone else, you wi…

SERIES: Cause and Effect Before we buy something, we assess whether or not we are willing to pay the asking price. If it seems reasonable to us, we may decide to make the purchase.

Money serves as a source of pride. This week, Jesu…
