By Greg Hurd I want to start this week with a search I have been on for about the last 10 years. It has taken me a long time to get to this point and I am ready to share what I have learned with you. Through multiple revisions I have attempted to eliminate redundancy…

by Greg Hurd “What must I do to be saved?” This was the question of the jailer in the first century when Paul and Silas were miraculously set free from their chains (Acts 16:30), and it is a question that every person needs the answer to throughout all of history. The answer, “Believe on the…

by Greg Hurd It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. This is how A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens starts and probably how things were in times following the flood that Noah and his family survived recorded in the book of Genesis.
