The definition of offended is resentful or annoyed, typically as a result of a perceived insult.  The Latin root is to provoke, or displease, hurt or upset.  Offense occurs when we feel personally attacked y someone else's words or actions.  Pastor Tammy gives us insight into what the bible says about this  and how to become unoffendable. How are you going to respond?

How to rejoice with others when you are still waiting for your miracle.  

Romans 12:15  Paul exhorts "Rejoice with those who rejoice."

What role does faith have in my miracle?  Miracles take an act of faith.

Do miracles still happen today?

The definition of a miracle is an event of God's providence, in which the outcome goes beyond what the natural properties of the created things involved could have produced.

Never stop asking and believing God for your miracle....
