The Coming Of The King Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

Matthew kicks off his Gospel with his genealogy, because he wants everyone (including us today) to know that Jesus is the Christ, the son of David... the King! And as King Jesus has - the authority to speak, the power to rule, the desire to include and the right to reward.

The Beat Of Our Heart

Contributed by Je Layugan on Aug 3, 2023

Our heart matters to God. And our heart will either lead us towards God, or away from God. When you listen to your heart now, and every heartbeat is translated into words, what words would you hear?
