    To show how betrayal is in us all and but it need not be the end of a relationship with God

    JUDAS: YOU BETRAYER JOHN 13 V18-30 I don’t know anyone who has called their child ‘Judas.’ That name is synonymous with betrayal and treachery.

    A Character study on the life of Peter

    Consistently Inconsistent A Character Study on Peter INTRODUCTION: Looking at the life of Peter, it is easy to make comparisons. One of the most vivid would be to that of the Prophet Elijah.

    Often times we find it difficult to submit to God’s will, but Mary serves as an inspiring example of how we can submit to God even when God’s plan is an utter mystery to us.

    This is about Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.

    It is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Almost anyone can quote it, at least in paraphrase. It is the verse that every child learns in Sunday school and VBS.
