God’s word always comes true, and as we see with King Nebuchadnezzar, repentance brings deliverance. Sermon Notes: bible.com/events/48775008

In Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus, He commends them for not tolerating wicked men, but encourages them to return to repent and do the things they did at first to return to their first love. The same applies for us today if we’ve forsaken our first love. It’s never too late to repent […]

A Christian marriage honors God above all else. The Biblical example encourages believers to enter into marriage in a way that honors God’s covenant relationship, submits to the laws of God first and then the laws of the land, and gives a public demonstration of the holy commitment that is being made.
