At All Times
Consider the moment of Matthew 14:22-23. After a long day of teaching and being with the multitude, Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a ship.

25 Years!
Twenty-five years ago, Tami and I walked into New Life Tabernacle with a smile on our faces. The congregation welcomed us with open arms as we entered with purpose.
