BITTEN BY SIN If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. 1 John 1:10

In that church you will find followers of Jesus who are just like you. They are broke
... See moreNot only are we in Christ, but He is now in us. We are the light of the world, the salt of the earth. The greater One lives in us. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in our spirits. Jesus, the Hope of the World, is now in us. We become carriers of hope and carriers of His presence wherever we go.
