    Jesus' most audacious act gives us personal hope.

    Introduction Last Sunday I introduced Jesus as the Great Gasper. He is the one who causes gaspers – making other people gasp. And he has done some pretty amazing things to make people gasp – casting out demons, healing the sick, even cleansing lepers. Sometimes, though, it is the ...read more

    Got bread? You do if your hope and trust is in Jesus Christ.
