     | 1,089 views

    The bible tells us that if man tries to choose the way to get to heaven, it may end up being the wrong way.

I want to talk about the wrong way and the right way today. Read Proverbs 14:12. So the bible tells us that if man tries to choose the way ...read more

     | 10,103 views

    You absolutely need the indwelling of Gods Spirit to lead you into a deep, personal and intimate relationship with God: To be in Christ and one with the Father

    Sometimes I feel a bit nervous when people talk about the Holy Spirit. I can understand God even without having seen a picture of Him because, even though the Bible says that “God is Spirit” (John 4:24), it also describes Him in quite human terms. Daniel pictured Him with clothing as white as snow ...read more

     | 515 views

    Lazarus’ life demonstrates Jesus’ power over death, the importance of divine timing, and the impact of a testimony. His story reminds us that no situation is too hopeless for God to restore.
