No matter the trials and hardships that come our way, we can live in the favor of God, walking in the power of the One who is greater than ourselves! This is our witness which God uses to draw others to the Light of Hope: salvation in Jesus Christ! "The Revelation from Jesus Christ... He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead... All glory to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.

You were never created to carry the heaviness of a broken world when God has anointed His people with the oil of joy to lift others out of oppression.

What if the greatest miracle wasn't that God came to earth, but that He STILL desires to reveal Himself through His people on Earth? Before Christ reveals the church as His Body, He reveals the Father's heart by becoming one of us in a body!

This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church." - Ephesians 5:29-30,32 NASB95 If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE

The destination of Christianity isn't merely heaven, but profound, daily communion with the living God. Step out of an isolated faith and confront a most critical question: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have already drawn near to you, now how will you respond? “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. When the Counselor comes, the one I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—he will testify about me. You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.” - John 15:5, 26-27 If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE

Paul wasn't changed by religion, he was interrupted by Jesus - The same Christ who transformed Paul still calls souls today! Will you answer His call?

"I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus." - 1 Timothy 1:12-14 NASB95 If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE
