Miracle Ministry Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jul 11, 2016

There is a right relationship between a miracle and the Messiah. Jesus healed the paralytic’s to prove that He could solve the man’s bigger problem of sin. You could go to heaven with a sick body but not a sick soul. Salvation is the greatest miracle.

Too Good To Be True?

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018
