Walking as Jesus Walked: A Journey Through our Lord’s Life of Example – Part 5

The Christian life is to be walked as Jesus did while upon the earth. We are currently observing seventeen traits of Jesus in His walk and applying them to ourselves.

In an age of much spiritual activity, we need to ensure the Jesus we claim to know and pray to dwell within us is the Jesus of the Bible and not our imagination. In this service, we will be in Revelation 4 observing the Throne of God to see the Exalted Christ as He is now in that holy place. .
