Check the Receipts
Do you really know who Jesus is? Jesus tells us who he is through the miracles he did.

It’s this command that is at the core of the church and its mission here on earth. We are to make disciples, but that’s easier said than done.
Review: The Great Divorce
C.S. Lewis’ “The Great Divorce” was a joy to read from beginning to end. It presents a compelling view of the afterlife that challenges our own preconceived notions about the spiritual realm.
