Title: The Millennium Theme: To show the coming of Christ and the 1000 yr. reign. Text: Revelation 20 Opening ...read more

    We can be joyful in all circumstances, by adopting a right perspective, set the right priority, lean on the power of God, and focus on the purpose of life.

    Most people don't enjoy life; they just endure it. • They think that life must be perfect for them to be happy. • So they are always looking for a change for the better. If I could just change my situation life would be great. If I could just get rid of all my problems, life would ...read more
