    In times of deep sorrow and mental struggle, it's easy to drown in waves of despair, feeling as if joy has completely vanished. Yet, we can speak hope into our hearts by fixing our gaze on God (Ps 42), trusting that even in the darkest moments, we will once again find strength and praise in Him.

    Reclaiming The Blueprint Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 24, 2024
     | 1,718 views

    Many believers feel that something vital is missing from today's church, yearning for the vibrancy seen in the early church of Acts. God is calling us back to that original blueprint, to be a church devoted to Him, to each other, and to the mission of spreading His hope and redemption.

    There is a growing sense among believers today that something essential is missing. We attend church services, participate in programs, and go through the motions of faith, yet we long for the vibrancy, the power, and the authentic community described in the book of Acts. It’s like we have ...read more
