As most of you know I’m a runner and have been one for about 20 years. I don’t run as fast or as far as I used to but when my schedule permits I still get in about 20 miles a week. Over the years I have run in half a dozen races. I’ve never […]

Faith Is….

Pilgrims Should Make Progress

Series: Preacher: Date: March 13, 2016 Scripture Reference: Hebrews 5:11 - 6:20

One of the most popular brands of TV commercials out there these days advertises Geico insurance—and in my opinion their commercials are usually very entertaining.
