"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Good Friday is a day when believers remember the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s a day we remember how Christ became a curse on the cross for all those given to Him by the Father in order...
FORSAKEN!! by Pastor Scott Henry
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Our Lord Jesus was forsaken by God in the utter darkness of eternal Hell in our place. It was necessary in order that we might be adopted as the children of God, and be privileged to call God, “Abba,...

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS by Pastor S. Henry
“An ungodly man digs up evil, and it is on his lips like a burning fire. A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:27-28). The words that flow out of our mouth are not neutral … they either edify or tear down others. Many...
