Moses’ History Lesson
October 02, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoJust as the children of Israel are finally to enter Canaan, Moses gives them a history lesson, a theme that is repeated all through the Bible: remember what the Lord has done for you in the past.

August 15, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoGod wants to cure us on the inside first. Sometimes He chooses to bring us immediate physical healing, sometimes we will have to wait for resurrection morning to experience physical healing.

Rest, Relationships and Healing
August 08, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoThis week we will look at forgiveness and what it can do for restless human hearts. Without forgiveness, we remain victims. Forgiveness has more to do with ourselves than with the person or persons who have wronged us.
