Our text today does not contain a miracle as such. The setting is a much more relaxed atmosphere - dinner at Simon’s house. The Pharisees play a major role in the story of Jesus.

Co-Ministry With John And Leaves For Galilee Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 1, 2017

John’s disciples are jealous of Jesus and His disciples. -AND- Jesus goes to Galilee. This is the area where He grew up, because Nazareth is there. Also, Capernaum is by the Sea of Galilee, and He has made that city His home base.

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 27, 2024

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.
