    67. Exclusive or Inclusive
    2025/09/16
    This week, Pastor Dave tackles something about the Gospel that is hard for goodhearted people to understand, and in which to take comfort. Is the Gospel exclusive or inclusive? Aren’t we all equally bound for heaven, regardless of the religion that we might follow in this life? Hear what God tells about our faith, and why it is a comfort for us. If you want some background, take a look at John 3:16, and John chapter 14 (“I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.”).

    64. Holy Sabbath
    2025/08/26
    God had told his people, for many years, how a Holy Sabbath should be. Isaiah and other prophets spoke it for him, messages about mercy, generosity, grace, and love. Some people loved the rules more. Hear about Jesus showing a different picture of the Sabbath, and how we are called to celebrate a Shabbat Shalom to this day.
