    We need Him to open doors for us. We need Him to lift the weight that we can’t lift. We need Him to do things for us that we can’t do for ourselves. A simple question: Has the power of God been unleashed in your life?

What if the stamp of the supernatural was such a part of your life that everyone around you said, “Look at what’s happening for him. Look at what’s ...read more

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more
