Who is Jesus to you?
“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

God’s Spoken Creation
What does it mean to really say YES to God?
“And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)

A Time to Throw Away
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,... >Read More
