    I Have Seen The Lord Series

    Every person comes to faith differently. Mary Magdalene was one of the last people at the cross and first to the tomb. Although she was marginalized by society she was a loyal follower of Jesus.

    I HAVE SEEN THE LORD! John 20:1-18 I suppose that one of the reasons that I like history is the fact that it is chronological. We had a high-school teacher in Indiana that would start the school term with the big current event of the day and then move backward through history to make it more ...read more

    Even righteous people live with disappointments & hurt. Instead of focusing on the absent, we need to empathize and support them in their questioning & doubts that God would touch them in spite of their conditions. Elizabeth & Zechariah are our examples.

    GOD HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS LUKE 1:5-25: 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments ...read more
