“Immediately He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee], while He sent the crowds away.

Faith or Fear
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV

For I consider that the sufferings of this … Continue reading The Darkest Hours
Qualifications
I don't know where the story below came from originally, but I heard it in a sermon I was listening to from Pastor Steven Furtick. Can you imagine if Jesus chose us based on our qualifications today, rather than what He sees in us, and what He knows He can do through us? If Jesus … Continue reading Qualifications
