    Faith in Jesus brought the Canaanite woman into his presence. Her faith was pleasing to Jesus, and he blessed her through it, and included her into table fellowship with him. Faith in Jesus makes us acceptable to him and a delight.

The lake district had been a busy place for Jesus, calming the storms in people’s lives and dealing with their unfulfilled needs.

    Perhaps you’ve run into some difficulties recently: your boss, an illness, conflicts in family. You’ve pleaded with the Lord for relief. But He may have said in response, “Toughen up. Dig in. It may get worse.” And then He asks you to “run with horses."

    Opening illustration: Can you imagine what it would be like to be at a track meet waiting for the start of the 100 meter race? Gathered together are the top runners from across the world. Fractions of a second separate these runners. While the marathon is a test of stamina and endurance, the 100 ...read more

    Mighty Men of God We as men of God have been called to serve But our greatest fear is… failure. Our greatest desire is for significance. How we get that is different for men and women.

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff.

    Why did Jesus have to die? If God is a God of love why would he ever let his own son die such a horrible death? Some critics say that the crucifixion is nothing more than a romantic story of a man who was going through an identity crisis. What do you beli

A train track ran across the bridge, and the operator’s job was to keep the bridge up when no train was coming so that the boats could ...read more
