     | 203 views

    It is only in Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God, to each other, to creation, and to truth itself.

    Levi, also called Matthew, was a publican who collected Roman taxes from the Jews. One day Jesus came by Matthew's tax-collection site and said two simple words, "Follow Me". Levi did just that!

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,144 views

    Christians, like Eagles, are destined to fly high in Christ's victorious nature and righteousness. They don't conform to the nature of fallen creatures, who can only flutter slightly above the ground of sin and corruption. Have you realized your genetic heritage yet?

     | 2,006 views

    This begins with a skit. We're supposed to judge ourselves before we judge others, because only then will we have clear enough vision – and humility – to assess other people’s issues are. We end with a look at the Law of Love about relationships.

     | 799 views

    Bringing someone to Christ requires patience, love, and prayer. How we approach them with the gospel can either encourage them or turn them off completely. We have to give God and His Spirit the chance to work in people.
