It was the night before when in the upper room Jesus and the disciples meet for the last supper. As they came into that room each one passed by a basin and a pitcher full of water.

Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way?

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Sep 27, 2019

"Neither Do I Condemn You"

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 30, 2017

The story of the woman caught in the act of adultery and Jesus' response to the scribes and Pharisees' query about the law is one of the most intriguing episodes in the bible. Why did Jesus act in a way that on the surface seemed contrary to the law?
