    Lent 5: James and John ask Jesus for seats of privilege at his right and left. Ambition, power and glory are often pursued - but at a cost. Glory to Jesus is much different than what we see... Be careful what you ask for!

    “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” 1) I’m your servant: imitate my humble service. 2) I’m your Lord: anticipate your heavenly crown.

     | 6,786 views

    A perspective on Easter. When one is spiritually exhausted and even physically exhausted from wrestling with God in prayer, then there is only one way to go. That is, to surrender to the will of God and say, “Not my will, but your will be done”.
