Just hours before His crucifixion, Jesus showed His love once again for mankind by sitting down and serving His disciples. While they bickered among themselves as to who was the greatest among them, Jesus set about the task of ministry.
It was not a glorious position of preaching or standing in

That’s why I think it is very important in understanding God’s grace to comprehend the difference between three words- used in Scripture. Justice - Mercy & Grace. Justice is deserved punishment. Mercy is exemption from punishment, Grace is favor when punishment is deserved. (Repeat)

One good way to think of baptism is to consider it a “signing of a contract” between you and God. If you were to buy a house, you would be required to sit down with the sellers of the home and approve a contract. To show your approval, you would be required to sign your name at the bottom of the

I remember thinking about interviewing for a job, but I was unsure if I would get the job. Then a friend told me, "Go and interview. The worse that can happen is they say ’no.’ But don’t say ’no’ for them."
