Bible Study
Recently a dear friend whom I’ve known for a few years moved away to Knoxville, Tennessee (Go Vols!). He is a fun guy who hosted a Bible Study at his house. I attended for the past couple years and truly grew as a result of it. About a year ago I realized I am a [...]

The victory is within, as well as the battle.Allowing God to use you, is asking for your God in you, to [...]
1 Peter 2:11-23 (focus verses) God wants his supernatural power to become regular (natural) in our lives. God has established his love for sinners on this earth through his son Jesus Christ Jesus was established on earth to bring back everything man lost (re-direct God’s children back to God’s will/plan) He wants to fully redeem [...]
