     | 10,793 views

    God always plans things so that we will have the chance to witness about Jesus. We have to be open to these chances. We must always be ready to witness about Jesus. To do so, we must be familiar with God's Word.

    The readings from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 and Acts 8:26-40 are interesting studies of contrasts. The contrast is the consequences of disobeying God verses the consequences of obeying God. The reading from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 shows what happens when we disobey God. King Saul was told to wait and let the ...read more

    Message Matthew 6:19-24 "It Is Either God or Money" Who loves math? Subtraction, addition, multiplication, division. Some of us love it but most of us don’t. Because over time some genius decided that having numbers in math was not enough. So they introduced letters. And then you get ...read more

Anyone who wishes to be Christ’s disciples must meet Christ’s demands involving one’s family, self and possessions. Family Jesus declares; “If anyone ...read more
