    based on 1 rating
     | 497 views

    Every story has a beginning. But unlike our stories, the story of God—the story of the Gospel—does not begin with uncertainty or guesswork. It begins with the certainty of God's eternal presence and power.

    based on 1 rating
     | 280 views

    There was a time when calling yourself a Christian carried social respectability. Today, it carries suspicion, mockery, or quiet marginalisation. In universities, in offices, online spaces, and sometimes even within families, the name of Christ can bring misunderstanding or rejection.

    Jesus promised Philadelphia an open door. What did it open to? And why would Philadelphia (a church of little strength) rate such an honor?
