The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned… For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom establishing and upholding it... Read More

Holiness Over Happiness
Blog
(1 Peter 1:16) What is God’s plan and purpose for you? For each of us? For His Church?

The Lordship of Jesus Christ
Blog
(1 Peter 3:15) The term “lord” or its equivalents, master, rabbi, teacher, is mentioned nearly 700 times in the New Testament. While some of these are a general reference to the position itself in a story or parable, over 150 times the reference is to God Himself as The Sovereign Lord and nearly 250 to Christ as The Lord! This is by far the most commonly used name to refer to God and Christ in all of Scripture. We should pay attention to what it... Read More
