John documented these words as a direct bystander of Jesus’s crucifixion. He tells us his testimony is true and wrote it down so that “you also may believe.” (John 19:35) Jesus’ words on the cross were tender words of care, fulfilled prophecy, and quoted Scripture. But when His work was done, Jesus declared these words […]

The title “Suffering Servant” comes from the prophet Isaiah. He shows us that Jesus is the Suffering Servant who will fulfill God’s plan of salvation for His people. This chapter is amazing because of it’s detailed depiction of the life and suffering of Jesus. This fulfilled prophecy caused so much controversy in later years that

If you’ve been involved in ministries for children or young people, questions about the Trinity have most likely come up.

Last week, we began our study of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I love that Jesus knew exactly how to illustrate spiritual truth in ways which everyone could identify with if they had ears to hear. He had the Pharisees in mind when He spoke this parable, but what lessons can we learn? We

We learned last week that Queen Esther and her fellow Jews fasted and prayed for three days before her mission to go before the king. The topic of fasting sparked my curiosity because I have very little background in it. I didn’t think it was something I could ever take part in because of a

A friend sent me a photo she took of a gorgeous stained-glass window depicting the Tree of Life (it’s in the Pinterest Pin below.) I’ve wanted to write a blog post about it ever since. A recent visit to the USS Arizona Memorial site in Hawaii brought it back to my memory. There is a
