The Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1-6)

https://www.youtube.com/live/ey4UJkOo2cw?si=rxRogYcixg6gi0D7&t=3294 Just a few days before His death, Jesus, knowing that His disciples’ faith would be shaken, prepared them for His departure. Jesus must give Himself as a sacrificial offering (John 1:29) to provide forgiveness of sin (Eph 1:7).

Consider Jesus’ own words: “The thief [Satan] comes only to steal and killContinueContinue reading “Hope vs. Expectation (Easter)”

The Grace of God (Titus 2:11-14)

The Apostle Paul placed a man named Titus on the small island of Crete in order to instruct the people there to live lives of faith in Jesus Christ.  Soon after this, he wrote to Titus to remind the Cretans about the grace of God.  Paul wrote: For the grace of God has appeared, bringingContinueContinue reading “The Grace of God (Titus 2:11-14)”
