    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,078 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more
