    Understand the same God who brought this people out of the land of Egypt is not yet done with them. Babylon is not an end but rather, an opportunity for God to display his power and his grace to his people once again.

Today’s message comes from the Messianic Reign and describes the suffering servant. Today’s reading is the first ...read more

     | 2,489 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    Memories of good times are fading, while the expectation of experiencing new ones is gradually disappearing. However, when persons are introduced to Jesus, when they have an opportunity to meet Jesus hope springs alive once more.

    Good morning brothers and sisters. Good morning, everyone. Don’t touch. Don’t hug Stand 6 ft apart or at least 3ft apart.
