I’d also like to take a closer look at what Jesus rescues us from and is a refuge in, and what sort of refuge He is

    Weightless Faith

    Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014
     | 4,067 views

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more

    We all desire to please God, for the most part, but how we go about it makes all the difference

    Luke 10: 25-37 If Jesus were to come to you and tell you that this is the one thing that you need to do, in order to please God, would you not do it immediately?
