God has given His commands to us, but we pay no attention to them— not because of willful disobedience, but because we do not truly love and respect Him. “If you l…

Miracles were a sure way to show people a sign that Jesus had unique, other-worldly power. They led many to believe in faith in Him; those who had not hardened their hearts against Him and many thousands who were awaiting the true Messiah and recognized Him.

See Matthew 4:1-11. Our weapons are mighty, through God. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. What are we to put on? Ephesians 6:11-17. From gotquestions.org The first thing to consider in how to overcome habitual sin is…

Jan Markell: Minneapolis has been my hometown all my life. For generations, people have enjoyed its beauty and its lakes, which we safely hiked around. There are thousands of wonderful believers here! I am so grateful that Minneapolis is the home of an incredible church that set my path for life, as it was a truth-telling, prophecy-oriented church.
