The first person to enter heaven had no baptism, no church, no Bible study, and no good deeds to point to.

The answer he got: "Today you will be with me in paradise."This message from Luke 23 shows what grace really is. It was neve
#52 - What to do when you are sick | Pastor Stig | 🇬🇧 and 🇰🇪
Sickness, faith healing, hospitals and medication can be difficult to navigate for many Christians when they are sick.

But is all this really necessary? In this word, we get into this topic and try to
