We can even feel it. But we can't control...

Scripture Passage Acts 4:5-12 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Work of the Spirit What happened to the Christians after their leader, Jesus, died?

Scripture Passage John 12:20-33 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script A Time for Everything Jesus' life was very different from our life. We do not really know what time it is.

Accepting the Path of Suffering Peter was Jesus’ first disciple. He was the closest to Jesus. But he rebukes Peter in the most serious way: “Get behind me, Satan!

Jesus is accusing Peter of going against God. How was Peter going against G...
