STRETCH FOR YOUR MARRIAGE

MOURN FOR YOUR SIN
Mourn for your sin and unbelief, mourn for your neighbours and politicians. Show some remorse; love and care, for time will tell.

FULLY HUMAN, FULLY DIVINE
Jesus is fully human, fully divine; that’s why he understands what we’re going through and has shown a way out. Through his love we can fully express our divine nature in Christ Jesus. Jesus is God among humankind; he is God dressed in human skin. He is God who “pitched his tent” among us….
