The Crown Of Thorns

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 24, 2002

Why did the soldiers place a crown of thorns on the head of Jesus? Could there be something more significant to it than we realize?

This morning we took a graphic look at the torture He suffered in being scourged or flogged. The ripping apart of His flesh, the ...read more

Depression sometimes hits us, but we often don't know how to handle it or get out of it. In fact, we feel guilty for even being depressed. But these psalms give us some clues on what to do when we are down.
