What’s your response?
What is your Response? Matt.2:1-12 By: Ysrael De la Cruz I hope and pray you had a great Christmas celebration.

God’s faithfulness Joshua 24:14-15 By Ysrael De la Cruz Every church has a history; a history that reveals the successes and failures. The joys and sorrows.

Freedom of Choice!
Freedom of choice Genesis 2:15-17 By Ysrael De la Cruz You and I made tons of choices in each day. You are always making decisions, choosing what to do and not to do or what to leave for later. You go to a restaurant to eat, then you look at a menu from which you…

A Promise-Keeping God!
A promise-keeping God Joshua 21:43-45 By Ysrael De la Cruz There was a time in the past when a man or woman’s word was as good as a contract. Business transactions were sealed with a handshake and not on paper. The contract was based on their word. “I give you my word” This was sufficient.…
