But since the Ascension, we’ve been waiting. We’ve been waiting for this day. Like the Apostles of old, we’ve been ...read more

    Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 136 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years.
