With Eyes Of Understanding

Ephesians is a powerful book revealing the mystery of the church, giving us insight into our position in, and our walk with, Christ.

A Dress Code?

The same principle is true when driving on the “Christian road”. James chapter 4 warns against the […]

Master Of The Storms

Master Of The Storms

There are several times in the Gospels where Jesus had encounters with storms at sea. Keep in mind that two of the things symbolized by the sea are life and people; and some of the things symbolized by storms are adversities, opposition, and difficulties. In Matthew 14:22-23 Jesus sent His disciples on a boat trip […]
