Pray for Israel
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! ‘May they be secure who love you!Peace be within your walls and security within your towers’!” (Psalm 122:6-7).

However,Continue reading “How Are You Shining?”
We All Need Community

Every local church should take time to answer that question because every believer needs community. Continue reading “We All Need Community”
