     | 744 views

    Many people hear about Jesus but dont read scripture and consequently are limited in believing in the ability of Jesus to perform miracles or acts towards them. There are times what you believe Jesus can do, He will do.

    The passage from Matthew 9:27-29, where two blind men cry out to Jesus for healing, provides a profound insight into the role of faith in receiving from Christ. Jesus asks the men, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” and upon their affirmative response, He touches their eyes and declares, ...read more

    Are you experiencing a dark time in your life? Are you unable to make sense of what is happening? There are times in every Christians life when, despite our faithfulness, we’re suddenly plunged into deep, deep darkness. And we’re left asking the question – why? What do we do when the lights go out?

    Five-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

Enoch walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death and Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest ...read more
