     | 2,165 views

    Moses was willing to refuse to be known as a son of Pharoah’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). If you had been Moses, could you have made the same choice? Today, we will look at Grit, Growth and Glory because those three are connected.

    It is natural for us to hate those who treat us poorly. It seems outrageous to do anything else, right? But, we forget that Jesus came to bring a new way of doing things; He wants us to treat our enemies right. Check out what He says . . .

    Treating Your Enemies Right Matthew 5:43-48 Think back to someone(s) who hurt you deeply. Ever asked the question, “What am I supposed to do with these angry feelings?” What if you could speak to Jesus about this? What if he could answer you? What might he say? First, Jesus ...read more

The writer is bemoaning the fact that by this time many of them should have been teachers. They were still spiritual ...read more
