God Chooses To Bless The World Through Fathers

Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 22, 2017

We don't always appreciate the impact of fathers on the world. This message takes Abraham and the words spoken to him as a foundation for what it means to be a father. It's not just about providing for the household.

Abraham was just a regular man, but God called him, gave him a purpose, and rewarded him with a great inheritance. We can learn something about the importance of fathers from ...read more

"coming Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 3, 2019

This is perhaps one of the most powerful stories in Scripture to me because the two people who Jesus interacts with come from two completely different backgrounds -one from a nice, comfortable home and one from a home that was filled with pain.
