    The key to breaking the cycle of behavior in our life is turning to God in our crisis moment. When we break, He is the only one that can put us back together.

    Break the Cycle: Turn Back Now! Text: Judges 16:20 Bug Idea: Time and again, we find ourselves in the same state of brokenness.

    Every child of God has two sides of life one is a personal life, which involves health, career, family, and so on. Secondly, a mission life, a life to give, be a sacrifice and become an aroma of fragrance for Jesus Christ.

    Let’s start with our personal life, No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [d]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ...read more

    One of the first things every Christian needs to learn about God is that He is incomprehensible, which means we are not capable of fully understanding Him.

    However, that does not mean He is mysterious because He has revealed Himself quite extensively in the Bible, nature, and especially in Jesus, who shows us a wonderful picture of what the Triune God is like, to the point that we can truly and intimately know Him well. I hear the phrase "God ...read more
