A Question of Trust
(Acts 9:26-31) I can imagine the conversation Paul must have had when he came to Jerusalem after he had been secreted out of Damascus by being let down over the wall at night. Paul had been out of circulation for about three years and this was his first visit back to Jerusalem since his Damascus…

(Luke 12:22-31) How many times have you heard the expression, “Don’t worry, be happy?” There have been songs singing about it and it has appeared on Tee shirts, bumper stickers and so. It’s easy to say and just rolls off the tongue. But who was the first to say it? I don’t really know, but…

Turned Around by the Truth
(Luke 6:21) Jesus continues the Beatitudes in this verse saying, “Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh.” The truth of the New Covenant and a relationship with Jesus are the catalysts for this transformation in the lives of people.

(Mark 4:33-41) When he had finished preaching to a group of people Jesus said to the disciples that they should get into boats and cross to the other side of the sea. While doing so they were caught up in a great storm of wind and the waves beat against the boat so that it…

(Matthew 8:18-27) Here we see that as the crowds began to press upon him as his fame grew and word of mouth got around that miracles were being performed.
