They still do revivals?

For those who haven’t heard, I’ve been spending my days and nights of late visiting the SCC Connecting Groups (that’s code for small groups). This has been such a blessing for me! And isn’t it just like God to bless your socks off when you weren’t even looking for it? Here’s how it came to […]

Whatcha lookin at?!

Scripture: 25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!
