Posted on August 22, 2013October 15, 2021 by Michael Rose

One of the most incredible adventures that many undertake is the journey of discovering who they really are as a person.

The Present Presence of God

Posted on August 4, 2012May 9, 2013 by Michael Rose

Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us and this is such a powerful promise and one central to the incarnational nature of the Christian faith. We are exhorted and encouraged with the promise of Christ in us, the hope of glory and yet so many of us live like we are all alone. How many…
