    Jesus is the door to salvation, inviting us to step through and experience God's goodness and peace. To enter, we must have faith in Him and trust Him with our lives.

    So, what's Jesus saying here? He's basically saying He's like a VIP pass. You know, like those special tickets you get at concerts or theme parks that let you skip the lines and get the best seats? Jesus is saying He's our VIP pass to God. Imagine you're at a concert, but you're stuck outside ...read more

    Jesus can take a little and make it a lot. He cares about our needs, both physical and spiritual. He has the power to perform miracles and provide abundantly. Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah, showing His authority and ability to do amazing things. He is the ultimate source of what we need.

    In this story, we see how much Jesus cares for people. When He saw the big crowd, He felt deep compassion for them. He didn't turn them away or ignore their needs. Instead, He healed their sick and helped them. This shows us that Jesus isn't distant or uncaring, but a loving Savior who cares about ...read more

    As we think about the 4th of July and what it means for the United States, let's also think about the true meaning of freedom we experience through Christ. We'll draw parallels between the Declaration of Independence and our spiritual liberation, focusing on the quest for freedom from sin, the price Jesus paid for our freedom, and our responsibility to live righteously.

    Hey guys, Happy 4th of July weekend!
