John 3:16 The Gospel Of Grace
Artist - Gospel Jazz by HL Steins c2013
Very few songs cut to the chase regarding the Gospels, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact few ever captured the entire Bible message as does this artist lyric video so dramatically does. As you listen and read each line to this piece, it is nothing short of spectacular. Scripturally revealing, filled with biblical truth and absolutely inspiring.

His soothing and eclectic sound adds an appealing and captivating mix to the wholesome and spiritual aspects of gospel jazz. Truly a unique worship style fit for one and all.

Volkswagen hat mit dem Tiguan und Touareg zwei der erfolgreichsten SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) europäischer Herkunft im Programm. Künftig wird Deutschlands größter Automobilhersteller dieses Spektrum mit neuen Modellen verschiedenster Klassen deutlich erweitern. Wie ein großes SUV für die USA respektive China oder mit dem Taigun ein kompaktes Modell im unteren Preissegment aussehen könnte, zeigte Volkswagen bereits in den letzten Monaten. Nun folgt als Weltpremiere auf dem Genfer Automobilsalon (04. bis 16. März) ein weiterer Ausblick auf einen künftigen Volkswagen SUV: der T-ROC. Eine SUV-Studie unterhalb des Tiguan im Golf-Format, nicht nur für den Urban Jungle. Das in Genf präsentierte Concept Car folgt einer neuen Design- und Interieur-Linie. Zudem verbindet der Zweitürer die Talente eines allradgetriebenen SUV - der auch vor felsigen Offroad-Pisten („ROCK
Beim traditionellen Volkswagen-Konzern-Treffen am Vorabend des Genfer Autosalons gab es eine spannende Frage – welche Weltpremieren, welche Studien würden hier vorab präsentiert, welche erst am ersten Messetag. Denn angesichts der wahren Neuheitenflut war eine Auswahl unumgänglich. Nun, man entschied sich für eine gesunde Mischung und fand damit bei den über 1.200 geladenen Gästen großen Anklang. Die dritte Generation des Audi TT, der Huracan als Nachfolger des Lamborghini Gallardo, der „Rembrandt Bugatti“ als weitere Sonderedition des Veyron 16,4 Grand Sport Vitesse, der Continental GT Speed als schnellster Bentley aller Zeiten sowie der Seat Leon Cupra zeigten das Hier und Jetzt. Die Skoda-Designstudie „VisionC“ und das sechssitzige Konzeptfahrzeug „Clipper“ von Giugiaro dagegen unterschiedliche Ansätze, wie die automobile Zukunft aussehen könnte. Für den Spagat zwischen Konzeptfahrzeug und Serie zuständig aren der T-ROC, mit dem Volkswagen zwischen Tiguan und Touareg eine neue SUV-Baureihe etablieren wird und die Alltrack-Studie für den VW Multivan, der schon sehr bald auf unseren Straßen zu sehen sein dürfte. Ein vielfältigeres Angebot kann derzeit kein anderer Autokonzern bieten.
