    God loves us all equally, regardless of our family background. But what does the Bible say about favoritism within families? Join us today as we explore this topic in light of Romans 2:11, which teaches us that "God does not show favoritism."

Recognizing the Chains of Favoritism Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is a privilege to stand before you today and delve into a topic that affects us all—family favoritism. In our journey together through the Scriptures, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of God's ...read more

    There is a great need for revival; learn what we must do to prepare for God’s great outpouring.

It’s the encroachment of satanic influence. It’s driving families to turn against each other. Matthew 10:21-22 “And the ...read more
