Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 28, 2021

Exodus 4 paints a picture of what a genuine relationship with God should look like. God values us, and our input, and He's flexible in how He carries out his plans.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 25, 2018

The healing of a man lame from birth, the preaching of Jesus' resurrection, and the call to salvation.

A Place Of Security For The People Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016

Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.
