"Power in Weakness" - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.

He will not fail to keep the day, which He has appointed. Our God is not a God of...
"HOMECOMING" - "The Lost Have Been Found"
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 ESV The lost have been found.
