Show Me Your Hands!

Tom Lowe March 9, 2016 Show Me Your Hands! Introduction There are times when I feel like the man who said to Jesus “help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). And, how about this verse: “You don't have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you ...read more

Believing Without Seeing

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Apr 4, 2021

Every child receives some features from his or her parents, like red hair or brown eyes or a certain shape of nose or chin. And sometimes we think faith is like that too. We say, “I’m pretty sure I have ...read more
