    How do we know if we really know God? Tonight we look at the 6th test that helps to prove if you really know God. Does the gospel remain in you? Does the gospel abide in us?

    The Great Exchange that God makes in our lives Beauty for Ashes, Oil for Anointing, and Garments of Praise for our heaviness.

It has been said of the Church: "20% of the people do 80% of the work of the Church." It has also been said of the Church that: "20% of the ...read more
