Last 4 Words
November 21, 2023 18:52 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBThink about Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000: What if only the first 3 rows were fed, leaving the last rows untouched? Similarly and despite Jesus’ call to spread His message to the “ends of the Earth,” over a third of the world lacks access to the gospel.

“Why did God Create Satan?”
November 10, 2023 19:04 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBWhy did God create Satan if he knew what he was going to do? How do you show love to someone who treats you, as if you don't exist? And how do you pray for someone who treats you in this way? Hebrews 6:4-6 is a sobering warning. It seems to suggest that if we fall away from Jesus, we can never come back.
