Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man – The Power of Faith in Action Faith. It’s a word we hear often as Christians—but how often do we live it out? Jesus tells us in Matthew 17:20 that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains: “And He said to them, ‘Because of your meager […]

Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy – A Lesson in Faith and Healing I’m writing this during a time when the world is still feeling the effects of COVID-19.

Today, let’s take pause and remember why we celebrate Christmas. It’s not the presents; nor the family meals and gatherings although these things bring happiness for those attending. No, it’s the birth of […]

Christmas: The season for joy and peace. But, does joy and peace come to all when the celebration begins? Personally, I’ve already seen prequels to “Black Friday”, advertising the hundreds of sales and bargains to come.
