In difficult days and facing dire circumstances, it is always good to remind ourselves that God is greater than all.

Scott Pauley is examining the miracles of Jesus recorded for us in God's Word.

Our hope is that the message in these miracles will become real in your life.

Christ is enough.

Let's open our Bibles and join the study now.

and some people have asked, well, is that a discrepancy?
