This Week’s Focus Passage: Ezekiel 36:22-28 ‘Ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.’

This Week's Focus Passage: Ezekiel 36:22-28 'Ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.' This glorious passage, from the prophecies of Ezekiel, is not usually read from verse 22 through to verse 28, simply because the essence related to this lovely entire passage, is more often than not, considered to be found primarily focused on one single verse, namely verse t...

This Week's Focus Passage: Proverbs 21:31 'The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but victory is of Jehovah.'
