     | 6,140 views

    In God we have a living hope - Christ who is risen from the dead.

He has all knowledge and the wisdom to properly use that knowledge. The things He considers important we may ...read more

Do you believe it? {Extract a strong affirmation from the congregation.} In that case, you are a step ahead of the original disciples in those early hours and days after the first Good Friday and Easter morning. They found it very ...read more
