Paul’s story unfolds all through the book of Acts and it is no easy journey, but God never said it would be. Instead when God instructs Ananias to go pray for Paul so that his vision can be restored after his encounter with Jesus. God says this about Paul… But the Lord said to him, … Read more
David was the focus of our second message on reflecting God’s heart. Many people think of David as a shepherd, a victorious warrior and a king.
