Day 4 ~ Two Words that Change Everything

by Laura | Jan 4, 2014 | Memorization Challenge, The Challenge!

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us” Ephesians 2:4 I love this verse. I love the whole chapter, actually, but this one verse grabs me the hardest every time. The verses leading up to it paint a dark picture and a concept that is...

Announcing a special Embassy Live! Webcast!! "So, how have you been?" "Oh good! I just got out of prison!" .... Yeah, not exactly what you'd expect to hear from a bunch of Christian young people; but, if you'd asked a lot of us what we'd been up to a couple weeks ago,...
