How to Pray -

Friend of Sinners -

A Dwelling Place For God -
December 03, 2017 00:00 - 1.4 KBThe story of scripture is of a God who chooses to dwell on earth with his people. The Church is God’s new Temple.

October 01, 2017 00:00 - 1.4 KBJesus was never just a nice teacher with some good moral lessons; he repeatedly made claims about himself that he was divine, sent from God the Father and was the only way to access salvation, eternal life and a relationship with the Father. These are exclusive, inflammatory claims that require a response from anyone who hears them.
In Christ -
September 24, 2017 00:00 - 1.4 KBPerhaps the most commonly-used phrase to describe Christians in the New Testament is “in Christ”.

August 27, 2017 00:00 - 1.4 KBGod wants us all to grow in faith ‘more and more’ (2 Thessalonians 1:3). It’s a commendable quality (Hebrews 11:1) that Jesus is looking for (Luke 18:8). It’s a God-given certainty of unseen realities that leads us to action (Hebrews 11:1).
