    Ladders are useful tools in our daily life. However, if you haven’t learned the “Ladder Lessons”, then you won’t take advantage of their ability to take us to new heights.

    I. Introduction I know ladders are not uncommon or awe inspiring. They are simply an everyday tool that we use to reach heights that we would otherwise be unable to reach.

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 17, 2021
     | 1,889 views

    As Christians, when we talk about the cross we are talking about the place where the “lamb of God”, was slain to take away the sins of the world! (John 1:29). The Cross is where the sin of man, the wages of death and the fear of death were destroyed by God’s love once and for all.

    John 19:23-24  New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to ...read more

    We’ll be looking at the most important question that had ever been asked of mankind. This question causes us to look into the mirror of our understanding. My prayer is we’ll examine our life and discover every flaw or defect and fix those problems, if any exist, before it’s too late.
