Believe or not, God knows what all of this—maybe some of it—feels like. God is searching for something—but not because he can’t remember where he ...read more

    This is the first in a series on evangelism based on Bill Hybel’s book of a similar title. What is our motivation for reaching out with the gospel of Jesus?

    Know the heart of God for the lost. Looking at the life of Jesus, we come to understand what is needed to reach the lost - compassion.

It ...read more
