    When Paul writes "for those who love God all things work together for good," he writes to encourage Christians not to be discouraged by trials. "All things" urges us to look beyond the moment to see the glory that is to be revealed.

    “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of ...read more

    Good Cheer For The Right Thing

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 26, 2025

    When a paralytic’s friends brought him before Jesus, the savior’s first words to him were not “Rise and walk,” but “Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you.” Today we look at why forgiveness is the greatest miracle of all.

    Good MORNING. Today, we saw one of the most fun miracles in the Gospels, one just about every Jesus movie likes to include, the healing of a paralyzed man who gets dramatically lowered by ropes into Peter’s house through his roof. For context, Jesus had just returned from Gadara, a Gentile town ...read more
