    Jesus very specifically knew that this man had been lying there for 38 long years! He knew! I felt a massive wave of relief crash over me, when I read these words!

    How long? John 5:6”When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" Observe the words, ‘Jesus knew that he already had been in that condition a long time!’ I am speaking to someone ...read more

    This sermon is an evangelistic message which came as a result of reading the book “Introducing The New You: The Ultimate Makeover” by Dr. Lewis Gregory wherein he included an evangelistic outline in Apendix A about knowing God.

    I want to begin this New Year by laying a spiritual foundation for knowing God. God’s purpose is that you truly know Him and know that you have life – life eternal! One man’s testimony of how he truly came to know God goes like this. “The moment I got into my old truck, I knew something was ...read more
