Matthew 15:24 could give one that perception on the surface: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24 RSV). ...read more

Your worship takes you to a place in God, where all your needs are fulfilled!

WORSHIP HAS GONE TO THE DOGS. Mt. 15:21-28 I have often wondered how Jesus felt with all the multitudes following Him everywhere. Constantly pressing in on Him.
