    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,637 views

    Judas was given all the privileges of being a disciple, yet he still did not understand the need to totally submit to Jesus. As modern disciples we need to be sure that our heart has been captured by the Lord.

    Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more

John 12:27 By choosing hard and difficult things instead of nice and easy things you will make yourself a natural leader. Most people choose nice and easy things. That is why ...read more
