You Are My Witness
You Are My Witnesses 10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. 11 I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. 12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you.

Walk With Me
Walk With Me And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people. (Leviticus 26:12 ESV) Leviticus, for many of us is a challenge. What’s going on in the text?

That was hard to me, that was a real struggle. For many years…

And behold, there came a voice to him and said, “what are you doing here, Elijah? 1 Kings 19: 12b, 13 (ESV) What is something that a Christian does every day? Does that sound like a Sunday School question to you? It sure…
