Join Terra for this week’s podcast where we see the depth of God’s love on display.  Sin separates us from each other and sin separates us from God. But God demonstrated HIS LOVE for us in this way - WHILE we were still sinners, Jesus came to the earth, lived a perfect and sinless life, died to pay our sin debt, and then conquered sin and death permanently by rising from the dead.  God had a plan to redeem us before humanity needed redemption. What AMAZING love. ___________________________________________________________ Connect with Terra:  If you want to talk business, go to helpmecoachinow.com and set up a time to chat about your next best steps in this journey.  For prayer requests or to discuss your relationship with Christ, text Terra at 865-309-4737. ___________________________________________________________ Ready for more?
