    How is your hospitality? The story of Joseph and the coat of many colors teaches us to have an attitude of five times the welcome.

Out of love God created mankind, each one of us fearfully and wonderfully made. He made us in His own image with the ...read more

    Jesus was never to busy to stop and help whoever was in need. Wether a tax collector, or a rich young ruler. He showed grace to everyone, all the way to the cross. If we call ourselves Christian and we are Christ, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?
