    God told David He didn’t want him building a Temple for Him. It’s possible to build a building God doesn’t want. Do you know what makes the difference between what He wants and what He doesn’t?

What part does God play in what we’re doing and what part do we play. And we’re going to begin by looking at 2 Sam 7. As ch7 ...read more

Let me tell you a tale of two houses. These are the best of houses, these are the worst of houses. See if you ...read more
