Faith and Fellowship: The Power of the Cross
The Apostle Paul gives us a strong testimony in the Bible, Galatians 2:20 teaches us,” I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me”. The message of the cross that we hear being preached tells us that Jesus Christ is Lord. The cross brought power from God within him.
The message of the cross is foolishnesses to those who are perishing, but to us who are believers, it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

Faith and Fellowship: The Wind of God
Wind by virtue of it’s strength, the wind is unpredictable. You cannot catch the wind, you could try to use a windmill, even with that we are not able to stop the wind from blowing.

Blessed are those who thirst for Righteousness
As believers if we are left to feed our own righteousness, we will starve, but it’s only when we seek God and depend on him to fill us with his righteousness, only then will we be totally satisfied.
The more we seek the Kingdom of God, the more we will be filled by his goodness.
Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness.
Faith and Fellowship: What Will We Do In Heaven Everyday
While we are in Heaven what a joyous time we will have sharing and fellowshipping with our loved ones that has gone us before us. “ For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face, now I know In part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
Faith and Fellowship: God’s Gifts are Perfect
Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, which whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning - James 1:17.
