The Feast Of Tabernacles Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

Jesus is the Messiah, the promised one who would rule over an everlasting kingdom as God’s anointed king. We are called on to make a response to Jesus. Do we acclaim him as our king or reject him because he doesn’t meet our expectations?

Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more
