AMEN I don’t think anyone would argue that there is a fear factor in the day and age we are live in. Let me explain that statement. All around ...read more

    Too many neglect the Revelation because of ’all-kinds’ of reasons, yet it is the book which "Unveils" our Lord in His divinity. This message calls us to view this book with OPENED EYES.

Felt like you had something to offer & never given the opportunity? * In the 21st century, it would seem that Revelation is the one Bible book which receives that kind of treatment.

    Knowing Jonah was the reason for the storm the faced, the mariners continued to do all they could to spare Jonah from being thrown into the sea. Little did they know that God had a greater plan!
