    This is the season of Joy, but not for everyone, in fact many have serious doubts. And we in the church maybe similar; even John the Baptist seriously doubted Jesus at the end. Can we take inspiration from him? Read on!

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,450 views

    The five crowns outlined here are not intended to be a comprehensive list of the crowns of our Savior. They do, however, take us from glory to earth to glory in the life of our Lord Jesus.

    THE MANY CROWNS OF JESUS “His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.” Revelation 19:12. I. THE CROWN OF DEITY: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1-2. “And ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,929 views

    Sometimes in our zeal of serving God we begin to take the reigns and can actually not really trust and rely on Jesus for the very work He has called us to.

    Some Christians find themselves in a never ending quest to earn the right to deserve their relationship with God. We feel so bad about ourselves and feel that God had to do so much to save us that we need to spend our lives trying really hard to please Him so He’ll feel better about what ...read more

    Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?
