Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021

John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it.

Are We On God's Team?

Sermon On The Pace Of Life

God desires for us to fulfill during our lifetime what is available to us that are identified in scripture. I call them God’s “bucket list” for us.

Your Bucket List Turn with me to First Timothy 6. On Tuesday I will have a birthday.
