Jesus Victory Over Temptation

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 10, 2025

This message looks at the three temptations Jesus faced, why they truly were temptations, and how he overcame them, giving us a path to follow.

He Rejoices Over Me Series

Valentine's Day: If we know Jesus, God loves us so greatly and is filled with such joy, that He rejoices over us! In this message we come to know the Lord’s extravagant love, as we look at our God who sings and dances over us.

I could only believe in a God who dances.”(1) Our view of God determines our relationship with Him. Many individuals see the Lord as someone ...read more
