    Our testimony has a powerful influence on others but only if we share it with them. We should know by now that there are many ways to give a witness to the changes that we have experienced since we have trusted in Jesus.

    THE POWER TO SAVE John 4:39-54 If we ever needed motivation to share the good news of salvation with others, all we need to do is to look around at the mess many people have made of their lives. Many are in desperate need of help. It may be that someone has already told them about what God has ...read more

    Abraham overcomes fear with the shield of God’s promises - so can we.

    The more I study scripture, the more I discover that there are no great men and women of God in the Bible. There is only one hero and that is the Lord himself.
