Methods And Motives!

He Rejoices Over Me Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

Valentine's Day: If we know Jesus, God loves us so greatly and is filled with such joy, that He rejoices over us! In this message we come to know the Lord’s extravagant love, as we look at our God who sings and dances over us.

I could only believe in a God who dances.”(1) Our view of God determines our relationship with Him. Many individuals see the Lord as someone ...read more
