August 28, 2022 The Turning Point, Part Two by Pastor Chuck Swindoll Philippians 3:7-11 Yesterday I told you about my days in a Marine Corps Quonset hut in Okinawa in 1958. It was an intense time living among those whose lifestyle I found nauseating and empty. I can trace theRead More …
The Turning Point, Part One
August 27, 2022 The Turning Point, Part One by Pastor Chuck Swindoll Jonah 2:1-9 I remember it well. Almost as clearly as if it happened last month. But it didn’t. It happened deep in the summer of ’58. I was a Marine. Almost eight thousand miles of ocean between meRead More …

Say It Well
August 23, 2022 Say It Well by Pastor Chuck Swindoll Acts 17:22-31 Paul was a misfit. When it came to a place like Athens, the crusty apostle clashed with the decor. Made no sense at all. The classic oil-and-water combo. A monotheistic Jew smack dab in the middle of polytheisticRead More …

The Church, Part One
August 21, 2022 The Church, Part One by Pastor Chuck Swindoll Matthew 16:18 So, what’s the big deal about the church? Good question. And it deserves a good answer. Something more than, “You gotta have one to get married in,” or “It’s the place kids oughta be on Sunday.” OrRead More …
Accumulations
August 20, 2022 Accumulations by Pastor Chuck Swindoll 2 Peter 3:10-12 Garages tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
