    Every person has a story, often marked by success, failure, or struggle—but for the Christian, that story can be summed up in one powerful word: Grace. This is the testimony of every believer—before grace and after grace—a story of transformation and redemption.

    I’ve Been Changed! Philemon 8-25 Introduction: Every person has a life story. That story can be summed up on one word: achievement, success, power, wealth, family… tragedy, failure, brokenness.

     | 118 views

    Second Samuel chapter 4 is a sobering warning to anyone tempted to “help God along.” It shows us what happens when fear replaces faith, when ambition overrides conscience, and when people wrap sinful actions in religious language and expect God’s blessing in return.

    A reminder that belonging to God means being a part of His family, the Church

    I don’t need the church. I feel just as close to God outdoors. I’m already pretty good without the Church, and that should count for something. I don’t need to go through all the motions because God already knows my heart. If those words describe your heart, I’m glad ...read more
