    Today, we will be discussing the topic of giving to God. The Bible passage we will be looking at is 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. Giving does not come naturally to most of us, as we often prefer to be on the receiving end. However, Jesus did say that it is more blessed to give than to receive. This means ...read more

    Everyone is searching for love. But many people are listening to the wrong definition of love. The only one qualified to define love is God for He is the source of all love.

For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more
