    May I suggest that you title each episode with the chapter and verse first, followed by the title of the show. Ex: I John 1:1-The Purpose of John’s Teaching. This will make it easier to search for a particular book that Pastor Chuck is teaching.

  • Please change back to the original theme song

    I really tried to like that new little country church song, but it is kind of cheesy and it doesn’t reflect the great and beautiful original song that used to start before Pastor Chuck would start preaching please reconsider changing it back

    And if it all possible, please include the synopsis of each of pastor Chuck’s teaching

    Thank you, and God bless you for sermons

Q: Why didn't God intervene and miraculously deliver James?
The ways of God are beyond our finding out, and while God could have delivered James, He allowed James to fall prey to Herod's sword for reasons we may not understand.
The Torturing of Jesus
Q: What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?
This question is one that each individual must face, relating directly to their faith and belief in Jesus.

Q: Are you the Messiah?
