In the messages “Covenant of Worship” and “A Broken Covenant” we were encouraged to make a covenant – which we resolve not to break – to worship God with all our heart for the rest of our days. I pray we accept this challenge and make a decision to commit our lives to Him without […]
Continue To Seek
As Jesus was speaking to a Pharisee named Nicodemus, He said, “no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again” (John 3:3).
