He Calls You By Name

| 147 views

John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

Our minds belong to him; our bodies belong to him; the seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the ...read more
