Jesus is preparing to give his most important Sermon on the Mount and practices his speech by reading it… Continue reading Spirit – A fresh look at the Beatitudes during this season of Lent.
Steps – During this season of Lent, let’s recall what steps Jesus took for us, by taking the steps to follow Him more closely.
I remember the first time my husband and I decided, in an attempt to save money, to lay our own flooring in our last home. When anyone attempts to begin a project like that, we know how important it is to just follow all the steps. You don’t get to a quality finished project by… Continue reading Steps – During this season of Lent, let’s recall what steps Jesus took for us, by taking the steps to follow Him more closely.
