    What do we know about Onesiphorus? You’ve probably never heard of him before. He isn’t famous. His life is barely a mention on the page of a letter from Paul to Timothy. Here was a man who was simply a humble servant.

    A Servant’s Heart I heard a story about puny and weak man. He was always sick but he couldn’t afford to see a doctor. He lived in the deep back woods in an old log cabin, his condition seemed to grow worse every day. One night, in a very real vision, God told him to go out there and push a ...read more

    We expect the big things from Jesus, and are thrilled with them. But here he is, doing a rather small miracle that seems a little out of place. But what is going on, and what can we learn from it?
