    Jesus' thirst on the cross was a product of His humanity and His deep spiritual thirst for the Living Water He was making available to us.

    Jesus is done. He's done everything He came to do. He hasn't declared it yet, but, in fact, his work on the cross is an accomplished fact and he is ready to die. However, there is one last thing He wants to round out, one last detail. He is filling up the Scriptures. This is not an explicit ...read more

As we encounter Ruth we learn how God takes an active role in our lives. We learn through this short story that the human events we regard as circumstance are ...read more

    Some people fill their lives with many things that never really bring full satisfaction. Jesus is the only person who can bring true satisfaction to your soul.

    Isaiah 55:1 – 3 reads, “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy, and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat ...read more
