Isaiah 35: 1-7….The Ransomed shall return!
Introduction: All of life isn’t ‘beer and skittles’, joy without any problems, as we saw yesterday! Valleys have to be crossed, all life isn’t a ‘mountain top experience’!

Introduction: Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, after whom the Israelis are named, had a brother Esau. Esau, and later his descendants, occupied the land of Edom.

This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. IfContinue reading “1 John 5: 6-12….Would you call God ‘a liar’ to His face?”
