Many feel as if they are up against a gate in their life and are desperate to see breakthrough. Your identity of being "in Christ" will set you up for breakthrough.

The phrase “hope of heaven” highlights the benefits you can enjoy even...

Live in collaboration with Him is the way to discover His purpose for your life. Begin...
Colossians 1:27 - "To them, God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
