    The Bible says only one in ten will return to praise God for what He has done for me. Nine people were healed, but only one person honored the Lord. Only one person was found to be kneeling at Jesus’ feet, thanking Jesus.

    Jesus met ten anonymous people in our story today, we are never told their names. All ten men were soon to die and all ten men were miraculously healed. Only one of the ten came back to thank Jesus. I wonder, if you were one of these ten, would you be a part of the nine who didn’t return to give ...read more

     | 1,329 views

    Without the fullness of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives, all steps and principles of discipleship won’t work, because we’re trying to put into practice spiritual principles through natural understanding. Therefore, it’s only logical to build our spiritual lives.

    The Lamb who was slain now holds the scroll of the future. Heaven cries out in worship, and our lives rest securely in His hands.

    PART ONE — THE THUNDERS OF A SILENT HEAVEN No one expected the sound. No one expected the sky of eternity to split open with a worship so overwhelming, so thunderous, so world-shaking, that it seemed to roll through the galaxies like living fire.

     | 4,558 views

    With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. The Christmas story is the story of the virgin birth. It is a story of spiritual warfare. It is the story of Salvation.

    With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah.

    Jesus Christ stands before deliberately in front of the candelabra by the treasury and says, “I’m not like the prophets who point to the glory of God. I’m not like the gurus who reflect the glory of God through their consciousness. I am THE glory of God.”

If you genuinely know Jesus Christ, we invite you to participate in the Bread and the Juice to celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection. Find John 8 with me, if you will.
