Saturday Night Live (SNL), DJesus Uncrossed, the Romans, the Jews and the God of the Bible

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Uri Brito

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Uri Brito

Healing is a highly liturgical act. Jesus demonstrates this in a variety of ways, and we too ought to demonstrate it. The idea of cessationism does not do justice to the normative function of the New Creation Church. Cessationism implies … Continue reading →
