Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more

The Mystery Of (Un)answered Prayer

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 23, 2021

Two stories from Mark 7 illustrate the mystery of answered prayer: God adapts his glorious plan to the requests of ordinary people, even when granting the requests is greater than people can imagine.

THE MYSTERY OF (UN)ANSWERED PRAYER—Mark 7:24-37 Many people have had the experience of praying—passionately, even desperately—and not receiving the answer they were seeking. That can be confusing, even troubling, and we naturally ask, “Why?” Was God not listening? Is he not able to do what we ask? ...read more

Rock Piles

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on May 21, 2023

Before returning to Galilee, Jesus goes back to the Temple grounds where He’s presented with a woman who’s been caught in the act of adultery. It's a seemingly lose-lose scenario for not only the woman but also Jesus.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this ...read more

The Voice

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Dec 29, 2024

John knew who he was; "I am the voice". A voice is temporary. A voice is fleeting. A voice is fading. John saw himself as a fading voice that is crying out in the wilderness. Each generation has a voice, and we are the temporary voice for this time for this place.
