     | 1,411 views

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we … but before we go, we are changed into something he wants us to be. He wants us to look forward to dead, and our future life with him.

    Preaching Your Sermon - True Ministers Regurgitate, Or Do They – Should They Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 19, 2024
     | 626 views

     | 133 views

    Faith’s journey moves through surrender and grace — where Jesus meets us at the wall, restores our love, and sends us forward.

    There’s something quietly deceptive about the word arrival. We love the sound of it — the sense that the journey’s over, the destination reached, the work done. “I’ve arrived,” we say. The culture trains us to think in terms of achievements and milestones, success stories and finish lines. But ...read more

    "Trust in the Lord, lean on him don't be afraid, our God is near" an old song reminds us to continue our trust in the Lord. Because the one who began his good works (Eph 2:10) in us surely would finish at the right time.
