    Jesus celebrates bold, persistent faith from unexpected people and expands grace beyond boundaries, bringing healing into homes that feel far away.

The ones who never quite know when to stand up or sit down. The ones who aren’t sure if they belong. The ...read more

    How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023
     | 994 views

    Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

    In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

    Share that many of us are going much faster and doing far more than Christ would have us do. We need to slow down!

    What a site it must have been. Three months after the Israelites left Egypt they were camped at the foot of a mountain in the Sinai Desert. Through Moses the LORD told the Children of Israel that he was going to make a covenant—a solemn agreement—with them. He reminded them of the powerful ...read more
