    We know the command. We must do the work anyway we can. What will motivate us?

    I. MISSIONS ILL.- Oscar is a done deal. Who’s hot? And who’s not? And I say, who cares?

    Peter discovers that God has more in mind than just the people of Israel as he’s taken outside his comfort zone to share the gospel with Cornelius

    It’s a weird story isn’t it? Peter’s up on the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house in the middle of the day praying and he starts to feel hungry. So he asks the cook to prepare some lunch and while he’s waiting he falls into a trance. Perhaps the heat of the day has got to him. Perhaps he starts to ...read more

     | 6,588 views

    John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023

Blurred vision can likewise be an indication of a more ...read more
