    I want to get a little more detailed and ask if our faith shows up in our conversations.

    Why was Jesus called the LAMB of God? Why did God choose that animal to represent what Jesus would mean to us?

    Paul tells the church at Ephesus that one of their goals should be to "growup" and no longer be children. But how would they know when they had accomplished that? What are the marks of a mature congregation?

    OPEN: My grandson Benjamin (the apple of my eye) is 2 years old, and I know that one day someone is going to ask him this question: “What are you going to be when you ….

Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your realization of how much Jesus loves you and exactly what you should be expecting from your relationship with God?

    Psalms 3:1-8 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. 2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield [a]for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. 4 I cried to the Lord with my ...read more

    David believes God will fill his cup to overflowing. But why would God do that, and what does it mean for us today?
