We have the victory
God, in His sovereignty, gave the earth to man to rule and have authority over. He also gave us His free will so we could choose to do this on our own, through a dependent relationship with Him. When man chose independence from God, we all became unplugged from the source of God’s life. Now …
Believing to receive- The Foundational principles of faith
Understanding biblical faith is vital because God’s will for us doesn’t automatically happen. Everything done for us by grace, just like our initial salvation, has to be received by faith.

Salvation- Christ in you
Salvation: More than a decision Did you know, being a Christian begins with a decision on your part, but is carried out by the Holy Spirit? Spiritual life begins with spiritual birth, given by God through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it …
