    The first of a five part series on how Jesus takes ordinary stuff the base and turns it into an extraordinary thing. How he will take lives that have nothing to offer, lives washed in doubt and have those people do extraordinary things.

I get the distinct view that many would not really approve. But this miracle is not just about ...read more
