    Are you looking for life in all the wrong places? Everybody is living for something or somebody. Paul said, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” As we get closer to death in this human flesh it seems we tend to talk about death in terms of loss

    When we are joined to Christ the true vine, we are powerfully connected to his Spirit and his vitality. By faith, we can share in Jesus’s righteous life and his atoning death. It is through his death and resurrection that the branches begin to flourish and bear much fruit.

Some of these trees are also able to produce a harvest of fruit that we can enjoy. Scripture talks about this too, the importance of the link from a leaf or branch to the ...read more

    At the moment of the Messiah’s death, God provided three miraculous signs. Matthew alone records all the supernatural events that accompany Jesus’ death. He aslo tells us of some of the people who witness the event & how some of them were affected.
