    I know many families that pray as if it were an old tune. Are we just praying repetitously or is our heart in it? Jesus gives us some examples on how to pray.

"The Lord’s prayer" was given during Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to provide an example for how we should approach the throne of grace. Prayer is the prelude to peace, the prologue to power, the preface to ...read more

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. The ...read more

    Christianity is not God's plan B. It was the plan from the very beginning and we can see through the patterns and prophecies of the Old Testament, especially the Old Testament Feasts, the reality of God's plan through Jesus!
