     | 1,831 views

    In your life and studies of the scriptures, do you hear God? I mean, do you really hear God speaking to you or is the idea of hearing God an illusion?

    Jesus Christ stands before deliberately in front of the candelabra by the treasury and says, “I’m not like the prophets who point to the glory of God. I’m not like the gurus who reflect the glory of God through their consciousness. I am THE glory of God.”

    Directly after this sermon, we invite all believers to take the Lord’s Supper with us at the front. If you genuinely know Jesus Christ, we invite you to participate in the Bread and the Juice to celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection. Find John 8 with me, if you will. Jesus went around ...read more

    This Way Out
