Over the next few weeks we are going to be going through a series called “A Vision of Redemption”. This series is going to be a bit of a reminder of our vision as a church and the opportunities and callings that God has given us through intercession. Isaiah 57:14-15 “Remove the obstacles out of...

Luke details the events of Christ’s resurrection in the 24th chapter of his letter. According to Luke, the women that had followed Jesus rose early the morning after the Sabbath and went to Jesus’ grave to prepare His body for burial.

This message is the beginning of a four week series on the temptation of Christ found in Matthew 3:16-4:11.

The last thing that happened before He was led into the wilderness was that God spoke “This is...

The branches,...
