Matthew 2:1-12 Isn’t it strange how little we know about the “wise men” (magi) who went to visit Jesus after His birth? There are many questions we might ask about these men: Where did they come from? How long had they been travelling? How many were they? Did they travel together? The Bible says that […]
Luke 9:18-26 Religions, in general, offer their followers a set of values and rules by which to live.

2 Peter 3:18 The Christian life, like the physical life, begins with a birth.

Matthew 27:27-54 If you can, as you read this, disconnect yourself from worldly thoughts for a while and join me as I follow Jesus Christ from a short distance… Although the birth, youth and ministry of Jesus were already unusual to those who watched and followed Him, His last days and hours on earth were […]
Acts 5:17-21; Ephesians 4:17-5:2, 8 New things, new ideas and even new relationships sooner or later become old and, often, forgotten.
