Where God's blessings flow!
Sermons on Matthew (Page 10)
All Saint’s Day – where did it come from? The original saints offered thanksgiving and prayer to God. Even through trials and tribulations, they persevered, staying strong in their faith. What can we draw from their lives and their faith? How can we take these lessons and apply them to our lives today?
Be sure to call your father today ? On this Father’s Day, we look into Scripture to see how fathers need to provide discipline and love to their families. This follows the example set by our Heavenly Father who provides for us, while disciplining us that we might grow in Him. He ensures that our…
“Jesus Comes To Feed My Hungry Soul”
