    We can have the same confidence of God’s love for us that John had when he acknowledged that he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Jn 13:23).

    “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” John 13:23 If you were to guess, what do you think is the one thing in life a person wants more than anything else? Fame, wealth, beauty, status, power, position? I would argue that while a lot of people think that any one of, or a combination of, these would make ...read more

    Ephesians 5:20 tells 1) When, 2) For what, 3) To whom & 4) How the Spirit–filled believer is to be thankful.

The rich firmer of Jesus’ parable who was presumptuous about his future prosperity ...read more

    Fearless #3 The Fear of Disappointing God A discussion I’ve often heard, a question often asked is: what is the unforgivable sin? When is that we cross the line and can’t come back? Is there a time when God is finished with us and we are beyond saving? Why do people ask that? Because we are ...read more
