Our Sonship

Contributed by John Gaston on May 13, 2017

Most Christians act just like people in the world. Why? Because they don't realize they're Sons of God, what that means, and what Christ has actually done in them! This message is a powerful revelation that can revolutionize a Christian's life.

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Apr 6, 2018
