Welcome to Encouragement by C. D. Hildebrand
When Cathy and David began to understand the gospel of grace, they realized that much of what they'd been taught and were teaching was "another" gospel. At first, they were unsure what to teach. As they began to study without the lenses of Consensus Christianity, they began to see the endless glories of the New Covenant of Grace. Now they are still discovering the unlimited nature of His grace and love toward His beloved children.
Here, Cathy shares with you a variety of topics including inspiring teaching notes, healing testimonies, and relationship tips. Select any of these and you will be blessed.
Enjoy!
