“The Forbidden Chapter” is a powerful prophecy written 700 years before Jesus that describes a suffering Messiah who would bear the sins of the world.

True gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”  it’s about remembering who God has b...

In this message from LifeChurchNV, the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11–19 is unpacked. While all ten were healed, only one returned to give thanks. Why?

What does it mean to forgive someone before they say sorry or even before they hurt you? In this powerful message, we unpack Jesus’ stunning example: how He washed the feet of the one who would betray Him, shared a meal with the one who would deny Him, and loved His disciples to the end, even though they would abandon Him.
