THERE’S A TIME



To everything there is a time

Everything has a season

A time for every purpose under Heaven

They ate to full had some left over, because Jesus saw to this



There is nothing God can’t do, He gives, but He also takes back

As the person given… Continue

GOD’S GIFT



What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?

God forbid. For sin has no power over you anymore, but righteousness for God’s sake



Know to whom you yield yourself servants to, know to whom you will obey
