     | 6,477 views

    The enemies of the cross at Jesus' arrest show us strong lessons about the Kingdom of Christ.

    When we hear the word, “arrested”, we think of criminals. Criminals are an unusual sort, as far as I can tell. I hear tell of a set of criminal brothers who did all sorts of crime. As a matter of fact, if a crime occurred in this small community, one, if not both, of these boys had ...read more

    learn from two donkeys about going to the cross - cudos to R.L. for most of this by permission

    “From the mouths and backs of donkeys” Fellow Redeemed: Donkeys are famous for being stubborn.

     | 311 views

    When our words fail, God’s word doesn’t—He comes near, carries us, and renews strength to walk, run, and sometimes soar.

    Isaiah 40 opens with a command from God’s heart: “Comfort, comfort my people.” Not “explain everything,” not “fix everything,” but comfort them. You’ve stood at hospital bedsides, gravesides, kitchen tables where bills and diagnoses stack up, and you’ve whispered, “What do I even say?” Isaiah ...read more
