     | 691 views

    We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

    based on 34 ratings
     | 10,086 views

    We live in a time where the Body of Christ must realize that WE are the hope for the future. The spirit of God dwells within us and we must take it to those who have no hope.

    Hope For The Future - I would like to speak this evening on a subject that of all subjects probably defines best what I see this ministry defined as. If somebody where to say, “David, could you very briefly tell me in a sentence what the impact of your ministry would be” it would be the essence ...read more

    Compelling evidence for an afterlife for people investigating the Christian faith.

    Are our lives parts in a play scripted by God, or is this all there is? Is this life merely a stage, with life-like props? Is there life beyond this realm?
