    Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

    If you miss Heaven you must consider that you rejected God’s promise, , His plan for salvation, or you have fallen away from the truth!

    We have all had the experience of missing something. If you miss an appointment, you make another one. If you miss a phone call they can call again. If you miss a meal, you can eat later. Some misses are not so easy to correct! If you miss your plane you’re stuck for hours at the airport trying to ...read more
