    Christians picture Jesus as artists have portrayed Him when He walked the earth. Here John sees Jesus as we will see Him when we lay eyes on Him for the first time. He is the Resurrected Lord of Glory.

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more

    Through baptism, believers are invited into the death of Jesus, putting to rest their former selves ruled by sin. This act is not the end but the gateway to a resurrection life, mirroring Christ’s victory over the grave.

These and many alike are physical and emotional ...read more
