    A Job For The Boys

    Jesus knew that the Father had given Him authority over everything and that He had come from God and would return to God. So He got up from the table, took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His waist, and poured water into a basin. Then He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with…

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the…

    Dinner Conversations

    It happened one Sabbath, when He went for a meal at the house of one of the ruling Pharisees, that they were watching Him closely and carefully [hoping to entrap Him]. ~ Luke 14:1 Now it may be surprising to see Jesus on the Pharisees’ turf after He had criticized and denounced them so many…

    Jesus i-shock you? Faith-o-meter 💯

    Three centurions in the Bible have made strong impressions on our walk of faith. You may know of Cornelius, the first gentile Peter was sent to (Acts 10) and there’s another who acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God (Matthew 27:54).

    The Humble Ones

    “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a…

    Power Corrupts!

    But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to…

    G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) ~ Dcns. Denise

    In Mark 9:33 Jesus quietly observes the disciples argue among themselves about who would be the Greatest of All. In answering them Jesus makes a very interesting statement (v35): “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.35 And…

    Jesus ‘bore’ waa (Jesus gets angry)

    I have always thought Jesus only got bored (got angry) when He threw out the money lenders from the temple (Matthew 21) until today. Let’s dive into the scriptures for the next 3 minutes. Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life…

  • Hypocrite Pharisee or Humble Servant

    Hypocrite Pharisee or Humble Servant

    In Matthew 23 Jesus gives us some very interesting instructions: listen to good preaching/teaching and do as you’re taught from the word (not because of the teacher, but because they are in Moses’ seat). However, don’t copy the actions of a hypocrite! Oh and if you’re a preacher/teacher, then be careful to practice what you…

    The Humble Little Child

    “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter…
