May God be blessed with the reading of His word. Please join in prayer. Before I get to looking at the chapter, I ...read more

I want to ask a question to start off our message, and that is, “Whatever happened to reconciliation?” It seems as though there’s not a lot of reconciliation happening in our churches today among Christians. Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more
