Long ago, the world lay under a heavy shadow. When Adam fell, it was as if he flung open the gates and invited darkness to settle over the whole earth. Sin became the way of things. Death hung like a cloud over every living soul. People stumbled through…

Long ago, God took Abraham outside under a dark sky and told him to count the stars. “So shall your offspring be,” God promised. Though Abraham had no children then, God declared that through him all nations would be blessed. And here we stand today, part of that…

In these first chapters, we see Jesus revealed in glory. No longer the quiet teacher walking the roads of Galilee, He stands as the risen Lord, full of light and strength. His eyes burn like fire, His face shines brighter than the sun, and His voice sounds like…

Sonny reminds us that being a Christian is about more than just believing—it’s about living together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 2 and 3, describes how he ministers to the church—not as someone above them, but as a loving brother, a gentle mother,…
