     | 3,787 views

    In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments when we must wait on the Lord's timing. Just as Hezekiah displayed unwavering patience and trust in God's promises, we too can find inspiration from his story in 2 Kings 20:8-13.

     | 3,520 views

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Mark shares two stories about Jesus ministering to two Gentiles. As Jesus ministered to them in unique and marvelous ways, we see how it is true that He does all things well. We can trust that Jesus will continue to do all things well in our lives.

    Introduction: A. I’m sure you have heard of the saying, “Jack of all trades and master of none.” 1. I wasn’t familiar with this version that says: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” I can see how that could be true. 2.

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.

    In our story of Israel’s first steps towards the Promised Land we find truths about what Jesus did for us coming to this earth, dying upon the cross, and His resurrection, but also some examples we need to navigate our own journey and how God guides, provides, and corrects.

    God’s grace awakens us from spiritual slumber, inviting us to embrace Christ’s love, leave behind darkness, and live each day clothed in His light.
