    Jesus is our peace in the church. There will not be peace in the whole world until Jesus comes again. All scripture references are from the NASB.

    As we move into the Christmas season, “Peace on Earth” is a common theme that you hear often. The angels praised God at the birth of Jesus and said (not singing-nowhere in the Bible is there a record of the angels ever singing – chanting maybe, but not singing) “Glory to God in the highest. And on ...read more

    It is an error to refuse to live daily life wisely because Jesus is coming back.

    INTRODUCTION • Christians have to learn to live in necessary tension. • We are citizens of heaven, and yet we live on earth. • We are ready for and anticipating Christ’s return, yet we also work, eat, sleep, play, and have families. • This tension requires balance. • We have to live daily life ...read more

    This is a detailed Multi-Part series on why the daily anointing of God is vital to the Born-Again Christian.

    The word “anointing” is one of the most misunderstood and misused words in the church.
