Encouragement For This Season

Superstition, local folklore, and scary internet ghost stories can easily fuel raw dread of the unseen or paranormal spirit realm. The Bible teaches that while a spiritual world exists, believers are completely insulated in Christ’s light. Jesus stands supreme over all dimensions. The minute His voice enters the storm, ghosts and terrors evaporate, leaving you wrapped in absolute safety and sovereign peace.
