“Do you believe this?” What a great question for us to consider from our Savior, Jesus! And I think we can apply that question to several things Jesus said in our Gospel Lesson. But before we nail down our answer to Jesus’ questions let me ask you another question.

There was an elderly lady in the congregation named Doris—Doris Rudolph. When Teresa and I first arrived at Mt. ...read more
