    This message explains why "either/or" thinking doesn’t work in the Kingdom of God, and we should expand our perspective to include "both/and" thinking.

    Today, we will explore the inspiring story of Jabes and his powerful prayer. This narrative teaches us that our identity, our past, and even our future do not determine our destiny. What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more
