     | 22,197 views

    This message encourages Dads to use their amazing power of blessing in order to help their children.

    - The idea of “blessing” seems odd to us. It’s not a concept that we use very often. - We will even say things like “God bless you” without actually thinking that it means anything except just that it’s something nice to say. - Yet it’s all through the Scripture: 467 times in the Bible, with 108 ...read more

    The transfiguration points us to Jesus the Son of God, to the cross and is an encouragement to persevere in prayer.

    The Art of Listening The Rev. Rian Adams Peter is my favorite disciple. Not because he was perfect; God knows he was far from it. He spoke first and listened to others last.

    Please open your Bibles to Mark 12…… Take a quick look again at v12…… Eventually, Jesus was crucified on a cross, but sadly, many missed the point of Jesus being a sacrifice for man’s sin as planned by God.
