Leaps and Bounds

6 But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Here again, the Father is awesome. We all know this, but we tend to let carnality and the things around us […]

Remember

All of us, in some way, have been affected by the pandemic this year. Many have contracted the virus, lost their lives, or suffered tremendously from a financial aspect.  Not only have we dealt with the pandemic, but we’ve also experienced a lot of chaos in our current political climate.

Reuben: Rewards Lost – Session 8

When Jacob grew old, he became ill and his physical condition and vision grew worse. However, his spiritual vision and insight seemed to become clearer and more detailed with age and maturity. Before his death, Jacob blessed his sons and prophesied their futures, and his words are recounted in Genesis 48 and 49. Much of Jacob’s blessing […]
