And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

Because He Stayed: Why You Can Trust God

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 5, 2025

Jesus stayed on the cross when leaving was easier. His staying reveals God’s faithfulness, secures our salvation, and proves He can be trusted forever.

Trust is a fragile thing. It rises slowly and breaks quickly. It is shaped by what we have lived through more than what we have learned.

Finding Gold In The Garbage Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 14, 2010

No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

Seeking Crumbs From Jesus

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

Today we see how the faith of a Canaanite woman found expression in the apparent rejection of her by Christ.

Introductory Considerations 1. The scene before us seems very wrong. The reactions and words of Jesus are not what I would have expected them to be.
