Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on May 15, 2022

In the previous message, faith and its function were discussed. Faith plays an important role in accessing the presence of God. In the New Testament, there are many stories that teach the value of the presence of God; Jesus Christ, and his impact on people.

"do You Love Me More Than These?"

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 15, 2025
