    Jesus promised Peter and his fellow disciples that they would be sifted as wheat. This sifting had profound implications for these men and could for us as well today.

     | 2,412 views

    The period between Easter and Pentecost is divided into two distinct periods, punctuated by the Ascension of Jesus at the end of forty days. The final ten days were given a sharp focus by the final command of Jesus to wait. Those ten days were certainly an "in-between time."

    Dodging Decisions Series

     | 1,894 views

I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree?
