It"S Enough

Contributed by Darren Sirmans on Jun 14, 2011

This sermon reflects the wilderness and how the tempter uses doubt to test the marque, a model brand of the faith of Jesus Christ in and against the shortcomings of the simple ones holding on by the faith of a mustard seed.

God Sees You, Not Only As What You Are, But As What You Are Becoming

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 14, 2019

When Jesus met Simon, he named him "Peter", or "Rock", even though Peter's character at that time was decidedly un-rocklike. But Jesus saw what he would become, just as he sees as, not only as we are but as what we will become in Him.
