    In life's storms, we must keep our focus on Christ, overcoming fear, distractions, and doubt.

    The Restoration Of Israel – Jeremiah – Part 3 – Chapter 30 – The Fortunes Of Israel And Judah To Be Restored Series

Chapter 31 is one of the most important references in all of scripture outlining the Millennial and eternal blessings for the nation. Chapter 33 is another vital chapter. {{Jeremiah 30:1 The word which came to ...read more

We launch a new series where we are looking at four attitudes that every home should have in the coming weeks. I invite you to find Psalm 4 with me. Children and parents are stressed!

    Every one of us is confronted everyday with temptation from three sources – the world, the flesh, and the devil. None are immune. When temptation comes we can either overcome it or it can overcome us. How we deal with temptation will determine the outcome
