    Have you ever been totally dependant upon God? The lesson of the widow is that "importunity equals opportunity". Learn what it is that really impresses God!

    Jesus identifies with us in Baptism

    As we come to think about the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, we mustn’t make the mistake of forgetting what comes before it.

    When the problems of life get us down, we need to fix our focus.

    A little boy was sitting on a street corner trying to sell his little pup (maybe I’ve told you this before).

    That’s where you’ll find your peace – when you know Him and believe Him, when you know that despite desperate or discouraging circumstances, the end of the story is coming and it’s perfect.

But, the true and living God had spoken to him, telling him to ‘forsake ...read more
