Lost In Translation Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 27, 2008

How well do you know Jesus, really? Jesus probes some Jews who say they believe but don’t. Jesus says the truth will set us free, but sometimes we are speaking a different language and so can’t understand what he is saying at first.

How well do you know Jesus? Some of us grew up in church and think we know him. He’s the guy who walked on water and changed water into wine and started that Golden Rule thing. Others know Jesus as a good man who gave us a lot of good advice on how to live. To others Jesus is love guy-love your ...read more

Whose child are you?

But I ...read more

Who's Your Daddy? Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Oct 10, 2007

According to Jesus, a person’s actions and attitude will demonstrate who he has as father.

Few pictures from our family history speak more of family camaraderie than those of my dad with his 5 boys. I wouldn’t want to minimize Mom’s significance for a second, or fail to point out that my dad always said, “I have 5 sons, and each one of them has a sister!” But there’s something about ...read more

A Crisis Of Identity Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Mar 26, 2009
