Be Strong

Ephesians 6:10-18 We often hear Christians say and preachers proclaim that when you become a Christian or a believer in Jesus Christ, your life changes and God’s blessings make life easy and He fights your battles.

The True Light

John 1:1-14 Seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ, Isaiah prophesied: “The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.” (Isaiah 60:19) In Luke 1:78, Jesus is…
