    Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022
     | 2,074 views

He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more

    God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He speaks to His people just as He spoke the universe into existence. If we are looking, listening, and responding to God, He will direct our paths. This is the essence of the life God has designed for.
