Our plans called for us to catch a plane out of Miami International Airport to Chicago and then on to Fort Wayne. The problem occurred when we arrived in Miami just a day ...read more

    Elizabeth was pregnant against all ’odds’. Mary was to become pregnant even though she was a virgin! What seems ’impossible’ in your life right now? What is God saying to your situation?

    “Nothing is impossible with God” (1:37). What is going on in your life right now which seems impossible to solve?

  • Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,441 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

    Joy, gratitude, and mercy, are a part of our calling as Christians. We often do more this time of year, but our calling extends beyond the Christmas holiday, our calling is a part of our lives every day. I can’t help but think that Mary didn’t just sing

    At the turn of the 18th century, Christmas could be a very dangerous time for ordinary common folk like us. Back in those days, it was customary for bands of young men to go door-to-door, demanding food and drink and in exchange provide a song for the household’s entertainment. If nothing was ...read more
