    Sometimes we might find ourselves wondering why Jesus picked us as His disciples. When we look at Simon the Zealot we see that Jesus does not choose us according to what we can give, He chooses us because of His incredible grace.

    The birth of Christ was not announced to the most influential people in the nation, like political, religious, or military leaders, nor to wealthy merchants and prominent men and women, but to the shepherds. Why? Who are they?

     | 428 views

    Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

    We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more

    I know many families that pray as if it were an old tune. Are we just praying repetitously or is our heart in it? Jesus gives us some examples on how to pray.

    Jesus prayed earnestly, purposefully, and with certainty. He knew that God answers prayer. "The Lord’s prayer" was given during Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to provide an example for how we should approach the throne of grace. Prayer is the prelude to peace, the prologue to power, the preface to ...read more
