    Our God is a God of Recovery. He is interested in your restoration. He is not happy when His children are not where they should be in this life. When you are lower in the status that heaven has ordained for you, heaven becomes concerned and questions the reasons.

    If you're going through a broken heart, a failed marriage, a financial disaster, a family heartache, an emotional meltdown, or a spiritual collapse, there is hope for your broken life. Jesus specializes in recovery and transformation. Our God is a God of Recovery, interested in restoring and ...read more

    In the story of David and Goliath, we often focus on the miraculous defeat of the giant. However, today we will examine the events leading up to this confrontation and the question David posed to his brother: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today, as we face challenges to our ...read more
