A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, (Ecclesiastes 3:2) A time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, (Ecclesiastes 3:6) A time to tear and a time to mend, a time to…

So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” John 20:2 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter…

I once heard a pastor say that your view of who Jesus is will determine your whole Christian walk. Your speech, your heart position, your worship, your serving, how you interact with others–all rest on who Jesus is to you.

Racing straight into a commentary, or nowadays ChatGPT, will guarantee that you get someone else’s revealed word and not necessarily your own.…

He (Jesus) replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew 8:26 We had a doozy of a storm here last night. Gale force winds with trees and power lines down. There are many storms in the…
