Abraham successful. We can honor Abraham for his following God. This

Matthew
We are taking the next year to go through the Gospel
of Matthew. One year? Well, maybe more.
Most of us at NewHopeDeaf understand what crossing cultures means.
Different leaders. Different way of looking at life. Different way
of living. We go from the 'kingdom of Laos' or the 'kingdom of
Ethiopia' to the 'kingdom of America'. We go from the 'kingdom' of
Deaf to the 'kingdom' of hearing and back again.
The Kingdom of heaven. Jesus talked more about the kingdom of heaven than
He did about faith. Understand how to live in God's kingdom, and you
understand much about the Good News of Matthew.
God willing, we'll
have a video about the Kingdom shortly. Check back.
