Tinatawag tayo ng Diyos na huwag mag-isip ng higit na mataas sa ating sarili kaysa sa nararapat at huwag isipin na tayo ay mas mahusay kaysa sa ibang mga tao kung saan namatay si Kristo.

At Work And At School, Focus On Jesus (Ephesians 6:5-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 16, 2025

Our true boss, who we always stay aware of, is Jesus. He's the one we aim to please; his paycheck is the one we seek.

Today, we wrap up the part of Ephesians that's often called the "household code." We tend to think of the family as being one or two parents, some kids, and a dog. But in first century Rome, the household often included slaves. Many people had at least one or two. Some Roman ...read more

Rather than chase wealth, and focus on wealth, chase a deeper relationship with Jesus, of mutual indwelling.

Jesus Takes A Walk - Mark 6:45-56 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 21, 2023

Jesus behaves as God, treading on the water. It confuses the disciples because they misunderstood the miracle of the loaves.

Mark 6:45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 he saw the ...read more
