Believe You Have Received

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:11). As a pastor of a growing church, I continually have people ask me many questions. One question that I have been asked consistently over the years is this. “Pastor, I have this specific sin in my life, and

The Thousand Year Reign of Christ

There is a day coming when Jesus will rule and reign over the entire earth as King. There are several things that must happen first: such as the rapture, the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming. But after these events, the day will come, and the King will rule for one thousand years. To many, this
