For a moment, however, consider praying four prayers that Jesus prayed in the last hours of His life…

For many people, Mother’s Day is a time to stop and say, “Thank you!” to our moms for the many ways they have served their family. It seems that if you were to try to sum up it one word a job description for moms, it would be “servant.” It’s not that we think of our moms as servants, it’s just that seems to be so much of what they do – they serve their…

The Holy Spirit is not weird – people are weird. The Holy Spirit is the very presence of God at work in our lives. Jesus sprung this idea on a man named Nicodemus. John tells the story of how this important leader approached Jesus in the darkness of night. Jesus immediately said…

And yet, so many of us live lives filled with worry, anxiety and fear…

Maybe you are in the middle of a long, dark trial even now.
