    Mark is the only writer to record the healing of the of the deaf/mute and the healing of the blind at Bethsaida. John only teaches about the man born blind. What ties these three lessons together is that the Bible records Jesus using His spittle to heal them.

Not even something as amazing as the resurrection of Lazarus was recorded by more ...read more

    We continue our series of “Escape” by looking at another area that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming and rising offer us. The last few weeks we have spoken about escaping bad decisions, the shame/guilt that accompanies them and even trading religion for relationships. This week ...read more
