    Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

    Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more

    This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you.

    God doesn’t intend for us to knock ourselves out in our little difficulties of life. He is well able to handle them for us. Elisha said, “This is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord.” It’s just a miracle! That’s the business God is in.

    Mesha, king of Moab owed Ahab 200,000 sheep. Ahab died and his son, Jehoram, took over. Mesha decided that since Ahab died, he shouldn’t have to pay. Jehoram, the new king of Israel, got Jehosophat, king of Judah, and the king of Edom together and went to make war against Moab. An urgent need ...read more

This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more
