The Old, The New

Col.1:16-17 “for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth…  Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together

Just Do it!

Unquestionable

Rev.19:10 (Voice) “…Stop it. Don’t you see? I am a servant like you and your brothers and sisters, all who hold fast to the testimony of Jesus. Address your worship to God, not to me! For the testimony about Jesus is essentially the prophetic spirit.”
