Sons of God, Seed of Abraham We have spent a lot of time talking about God’s plan to reclaim the disinherited nations and restore his rule over those he disinherited.

2020 will definitely be a year we remember or perhaps it’s better described as one we’d like to forget. I heard a radio commercial that suggested “we put up a tree, open some presents, and call it a year.” Truly it has been a unique year, and it’s not over. Many of us have become weary of hearing the…

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
