Overcoming Fear

What prevents many Christians from sharing the life-giving, world-changing news of the Gospel? What is it that keeps us from sharing God's grace in personal, powerful ways? It is fear.

The Master Bomber

"We love because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19) or you could say "We Grace Bomb because He first Bombed us" In my last message I introduced the idea of sharing God's grace through Grace Bombs. But why would anyone want to give a surprise, generous gift to someone they might not even know,…
