Confident Reward

Just Like Jesus
God is both perfectly love and He is perfectly just. He calls us to holiness and He calls us to mercy. To become like Him, is the ultimate challenge. We are all born with strengths and weaknesses.

Great in the Kingdom
ANY believer can be great in God’s Kingdom, simply by the choices one makes. It’s everyday, moment by moment choosing to believe, trust, humble oneself, repent, serve, forgive, give, surrender, sacrifice, forgo comfort and love our enemies.
