God has a simple design and order in which he has laid out in his word. His design is for all creation to be a pure and perfect reflection of his glory and wisdom. But as a direct result of the sin committed by the first two humans, all mankind is now in a state of brokenness. This brokenness is expressed in the various forms of unhealthy relationships, mis use of alcohol and drugs. To redeem mankind from his final and eternal judgement God has provide the good news of his plan through the person (I Cor. 15:1-9) of his dear son, Jesus. Let’s all get educated and equipped with these tools as we enter into service ministry of the gospel of God which, by the way is the only plan to achieve God’s plan of redemption.

Ephesians 4:11-16
We are looking for a blessed time. If there is anything else, we can provide or assist, please let us know.
