    Big Idea: “As the Scripture says, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (Rom. 10:15)!

    In times like these, we cannot afford to be complacent. We must continue to spread the Good News again and again and again. We must preach and teach the Good News of Jesus Christ everywhere we go, intentionally and with passion, and sometimes we must do it without saying a word. Take a step back in ...read more

    Does God want us to change, to mature and grow over time? Yes! And he has provided the power to do so. But change is not automatic; we have to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in us. Here is how we do that.

    The Power To Change

     | 105 views

    Through the Holy Spirit, we have the power to grow and change in Christ. And the more that God changes us to be like Christ, the more we are able to know him and to experience his love for us.

    Over the last few weeks, our theme has been “power”. We looked at what the Bible says concerning God the Holy Spirit, who gives us the ability to love one another and who leads us into the truth. And we studied what the Bible tells us about Prayer and the reading of the Word, two important means by ...read more
