Jesus said "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life." (John 6:54) The Bible records that "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." (John 6:66).  Many people today see Jesus as a prophet of love and peace, but Jesus said "I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34). 
 
The sword that Jesus brought was the Word of God, (Ephesians 6:17) which is sharper than any blade of steel.  By this word the worlds were created (2 Peter 3:5), yet it was because of this word that Jesus was crucified.
 
We invite you to read and hear the word of God on this website.  However, what you hear may offend you, just as Jesus offended the people that came to hear him speak.  And, just as Jesus confirmed his word with supernatural signs and miracles, we have provided evidence of the same signs and miracles in the believing church today.
