As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.
If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more
