According to RNS Blog, while speaking [...]

So much of my life has been shaped by the 5 years of my life spent at Harvest Community Church. I moved to Albuquerque with my family in September 1999.

I’m sure when Jonah was first thrown overboard and swallowed up by a giant fish he was relieved and scared all at [...]
Great experience today

No matter how small or large a thing God tells you to do… just do it. Be obedient and see what He does. There’s a wonderful lady in our town God gives me [...]
