    Reflection C.6 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Waves?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 27, 2020
     | 1,559 views

     | 11,293 views

    God is not interested in us visiting places we cannot inhabit or possess. This timely message examines the level of living that God wants for us. God’s goal is more than repentance and reival.

When I say that, I don’t mean the actual events because the actual events of Pentecost will never be repeated. The Holy Spirit has already come, ...read more
