Each had their own unique relationship with the Lord, yet together, as a family, they displayed all the aspects of a church. Especially the sisters, Martha and Mary,…

Failure does not define us; it isn’t our identity.

Jesus Walks on Water, by Konstantin Alexejewitsch Korowin, 1890  Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because…

Be Wise As Serpents and Innocent As Doves

16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you…

What Must Come (Mark 9:9-13)

What goes up, must come down.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
