Come To The Other Side

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 10, 2024

Two disciples were challenged to cross the sea of Galilee. It takes faith to cross over, and we must make the crossing if we ever hope to be in God's will. Crossing over is about moving from where we are to where Jesus is.

“Many years ago, it was decided to put a suspension bridge across a wide gorge. How could they build a bridge across such a wide space? If fact, how could they even start?

Awesome Authority - Mark 1:14-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 11, 2023

Jesus is the promised Son/King from Psalm 2, and has awesome authority over people’s lives, what people become, roles in the kingdom, over the Word of God, over evil, and over disease.

And part of it comes from the fact that so many of us have been under terrible authorities who abused their authority. But the truth is, life is most wonderful when you are ...read more
