The Advent Of Jesus Means The Advent Of Eden

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 4, 2016

Jesus isn't just like an ambulance rushing to our rescue, he's also like a resort shuttle bus, for he is coming to take us to paradise.

Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017

This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more
