The Reaffirmation Of The Promise Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 13, 2016

Can you imagine what it would be like if the Book of Acts were missing from the NT? You would pick up your Bible and see the ministry of Jesus ending in the Gospel of John; next you would read about a guy named Paul writing to followers of Jesus in Rome.

Jesus Is Our Good Shepherd, But What Does That Really Mean?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 27, 2015

Jesus the "Good Shepherd"; is a very under estimated phrase. What does this truly mean, and where is the power in this expression? Does the enemy have a similar policy? You will be surprised.

Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Today we look at that passage again where Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd, and there are a lot of references to sheep, so I warn you before hand, ... it has a powerful ending though.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters.

Miracle Ministry Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
