    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024

     | 775 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more
