     | 2,710 views

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth.

    This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more
