    based on 1 rating
     | 3,087 views

    The Fear of The Lord also means we should have a terror in our hearts because God is not the nic pink fluffy God people say he is.

    Church as it was meant to be, was a community of saints who feared God. (Acts 9:31) In doing these studies, we want to discover and do church the way God has designed His Church to be, without personal preference, cultural influence or denominational perspectives. A person’s experience of their ...read more

    Altars are places where often alterations are made. They are constucted primarily as places of sacrifice and surrender. This sermon examines their role in the church as a means of calling worshippers to a level of commitment.
