We'd Climb Mountains...

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 15, 2003

Epiphany 6: What great sacrifice have we thought we’d need to endure for the faith? We may be inclined to climb mountains... but no need, Christ already climbed Golgatha.

Through the Old Testament lesson today, we are offered a wonderful insight to help us understand what God requires of us. This insight is wrapped in a most interesting story about a soldier named Naaman. He was a valiant warrior who had won many battles for his King. But Naaman had a terrible ...read more

Three Heavenly Visitors (Genesis 18)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 24, 2024

Is this an allusion to God the Father and God the Son in the Old Testament, before the Lord was made ...read more
