    If there was ever time that the body of Christ needed to be encouraged, it is now. This message was delivered in a little over an hour and looked at four passages from Isaiah. A short series could be developed focusing on each of the passages.

    Turn with me to James 1:2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” And we know the word “temptation” means “test.” And we know the test we are to count as joy is when Satan tries to get us to give up, to give in or to get out when it relates to God and His Word. Now, ...read more

    Many parents go through worry and anxiety and stress as they attempt to raise their children while ignoring the blueprints for the family written by the Master Architect, God.
