Salvation and glory and power belong to our God) THE BRIDE VS THE HARLOT Why are they saying “Hallelujah!”? 1. Because the Harlot is judged. 2. Because we are invited ...read more

    "Finding God's Strength" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 15, 2014
     | 8,109 views

    Like many of the teachings of Jesus, the words He spoke did not really go along with the popular views of the day. Listen again to what he said…blessed are the meek…they will inherit the earth. This is certainly not the teaching that is found in the business world today.

    Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more
