Expecting Miracles
Read 1 Kings 18:20 - 40
Elijah has had enough: the Israelites need to get off the fence. Either the Lord is God, or Baal is (1 Kings 18:21). In order to answer this question, Elijah fearlessly challenged the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. With unshakeable faith, Elijah proves God's true divinity in a seemingly impossible feat.
As followers...... >Read More

The Divine Touch
Read Matthew 17:1-8
Jesus is fully human AND fully Divine. That is a concept easier said than understood. We're only human, after all. It's certainly no surprise that Christ's followers needed a few more visual aids to get the point. Here at Mt. Tabor, Christ reveals his divinity to Peter, James and John.
When Peter, James and John fearfully...... >Read More

The Jesus Boat
Please read Mark 4
Jesus called lowly fisherman to be his apostles. They weren't esteemed, highly educated, or wealthy. They were regular people, much like you and me. Spending time in Nof Ginosar, looking at the 2,000-year-old "Jesus Boat" which locals believe to date back to the time of Christ Himself, it is striking to imagine that Jesus and...... >Read More

The Cost of Discipleship
Read Acts 12 Have you ever heard the phrase, "Salvation is free, but it is not cheap?" Becoming a follower of Christ does not come with any membership fees, but it will cost you everything you've got. The early Church was persecuted in places like Caesarea Maritima, and it is in places like these where we remember that the... >Read More

“And so [Jesus] did only a few great miracles there, because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:58
It was my first visit to Nazareth, and through a series of fortuitous circumstances, I found myself enjoying lunch with one of the city’s prominent leaders. As we talked together in the crowded dining room our conversation turned to Jesus Christ,...... >Read More

Drat! It's Valentine's Day
Let's face it… Valentine's Day sometimes makes us growl. Who came up with the crazy idea of dedicating a specific day of the year to the expression of our love for others? Who decided to lay this huge pressure upon us?
Even as a child, I found this day horribly stressful. Who should I give a valentine to? Should I... >Read More
