And yet the truth is that if we find ourselves closer to the "e" than the "f" we are in the majority. In a recent study of 1,000 churches ...read more

     | 7,196 views

    Our first question is this, what kind of parents are they—they are raising the Son of God and they left to make the journey home and he is nowhere to be found.

    Jesus had to submit himself to his parents in order to grow up and mature in wisdom and understanding before he could step out into ministry. Should we not humble ourselves, submit to leaders over us and grow up spiritually, emptying ourselves of pride before we attempt to minister to others.

    Growing with Jesus Sunday, December 30, 2019 By Rev. James May From the time of Jesus’ birth to his appearance at the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist, little is known about Jesus’ childhood and growing up.
