Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

Rise Up And Walk

Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 19, 2023

Every time I read this account I’m reminded of the account where Jesus healed the man who had been born blind. I guess it’s because they’re so similar in that both men were born in their condition...

Are You Related To Jesus?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024

The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.
