But as I was debating on how I would begin the sermon, I ...read more

    Why does sin come back and revisit us? How can we be set free?

    When we fail to recognize the bondage we are living in, we will never be able to break free in the Spirit and accomplish what we could through and for Jesus Christ.

I hardly ever read my Bible or anything else that might stimulate my spirituality. I always seem to be unhappy with the ...read more
