Living the Risen Life in His Peace
When we call Jesus “Lord” we can have a peace that passes all understanding because it’s a peace that He gives.

Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some […]
Living the Risen Life, Faithful in Prayer
It can be said that in the Bible, God reveals Himself to us; but in our prayers, God invites us to a relationship and fellowship. How often we forego the very blessing of reading the Bible. After all, God is taking the opportunity to tell us about Himself, His ways, and His will. But when […]
