On Colorado’s Long Peak lie the remains of a giant 400-year-old tree. Age, storms, and avalanches couldn’t bring it down. What did? A tiny beetle you could crush under your foot.

Are You Amazed?

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Feb 26, 2005

Use several scriptures where the word amazed is used to describe peoples response to Jesus.

Seeing Clearly Series

Contributed by Tim White on Mar 5, 2012

Jesus' healing of the blind man in Mark 8 illustrates four points: 1) Some people just want to come out of the darkness. 2) Our ministry can sometimes only lift the darkness. 3) The religious expectations of others can be harmful. 4) There are times when

A Big Misunderstanding Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 29, 2017

There are times when we see and yet do not actually perceive; there are times when we hear, but fail to listen. Such was the case with the disciples. They thought Jesus was speaking of physical bread, but He was conveying spiritual truth.

Jesus departed from their midst to another region near the Sea of Galilee, and is quickly met with more opposition and doubt.
