Title: He is Greater >

Read 1John 4:4

“He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

Commentary:

Pastor Chris Davis blessed us with a message this past Sunday, with the message title, He is Greater, continuing with Bishop’s series, “Greater than”. Oftentimes we focus and put the emphasis on “Greater”, but Pastor Chris started with the reminder of “Who” is greater – HE is greater!

 “Oh magnify the Lord with me…” To “magnify” means to make God bigger than your situation.
