GRACIOUS VISITATION

The gracious visitation of God can be traced to the story of Zacchaeus. He was described as a tax collector, who was sinful in his ways. He is a rich man whose riches were linked to extortion of money from the poor. Being a short man, when Jesus was passing through Jericho, he had to climb up a sycamore tree to see Jesus. Even in his sinful nature, he desired greatly to see Jesus. He did not hide his sinful face from Jesus, instead, he realized and believed that he needed to be saved.

God’s blessings NEVER run out; they are unlimited!

Living in the New Reality of Christ’s Love

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel Galatians 5:13-15 “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

The Gift of God’s Grace

Grace is often defined as unmerited favor, which is accurate. To elaborate, grace reveals God’s limitless provision […]

Such growth leads us […]
