     | 3,151 views

    This is the 3rd message in a series called Perspectives and this message is about looking at life with God's perspective, rather than with our own.

    Hello and welcome back to another message on ‘Perspectives!’ This is the third message, and today I am dealing with the topic of ‘life’ itself.

    based on 1 rating
     | 972 views

    Human beings are created in the image of God and the question is, ‘How are we representing the Lord as His children?’ Only those who understand their true identity in Christ will be able to reflect Him the way they should.
