In Matthew 17:20 we read that Jesus said that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. As we begin 2026, I am asking you to join me in prayer to ask Jesus to move four mountains. (image adapted from recent Africa New Life email image using AI)

Husbands Love Your Wives
The New Year brings resolutions and the thought of improving our life in some way. A good way for those who are married might be to take a look at our marriage and what we can do to better love our wives. The Bible gives us some good direction on this.

We often ask ourselves why we should listen to God? Why should we listen to his word and do what it says? Why should we wait until marriage to have sex or avoid drugs and alcohol abuse, for example? What is wrong with gay marriage anyway? Who says abortion is wrong? Why should we takeContinue reading “Chopper Dave and God”
The Gospel in Exodus: The Golden Calf
