Believing Because of Signs and Because of the Word

  Malachi 1:11; John 4:7-30; 39-42 (text) November 15, 2015 • Download this sermon (PDF) Congregation of Christ: Nothing has changed in 2,000 years since our Lord Jesus Christ first appeared preaching and teaching in Palestine.

  Genesis 1:1-5; John 1:1-18 (text) October 11, 2015 • Download this sermon (PDF) Dear Congregation of Christ: Starting today, we take a break from our study of the Psalms.
