Walking In Love And Humility Series

In nearly every area of life, we perform better when we know our purpose. God wants you to know your purpose in life as a believer in Christ. God Almighty wants you to know your “why.”

Studies show knowing one’s purpose is a powerful source of motivation in life. Get this: researchers have shown that when you stress “why we are doing this” to people, ...read more

The very first time I encountered this term was when I was in college and I attended an Assemblies of ...read more

The Road To Redemption

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 14, 2022

What an incredible example and admirable trait we see in Peter to be able to say when Jesus asks, "do you love me?" and respond, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you."
