Who Is Like Our God?

Do you know God as He has revealed himself in His Word? We can only do what God requires if we understand who He is. The message on Micah is one of judgment but also of hope for those who put their trust in the God of the biblical revelation who is like no other.

It's Not Me, It's You!

It's Not Me, It's You!

Many people believe that they are the creators of their own destinies and the masters of their own fate, and they live their lives accordingly. In Col 1:15-20, however, Paul thinks very differently.
