The Miracles of Jesus
John the Baptist had been put in prison by Herod. Matthew 11:2-6 “And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Go and tell John […]

Elders
In ancient times, elders referred to the older men who were the leaders of the people. As older men, they had the experience and respect of the people. The term “elder” eventually came to be applied to the older men who governed, whether it was to govern the local synagogue or to rule over all […]

Fear or Faith
There are many things we can fear. We can fear what an evil person might do to us. We can fear the all-powerful God of heaven. We can fear animals such as lions or even spiders.

Draw Near to God
Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice for us. He took the penalty for our sins. He is our High Priest to the Father. God has now made a new covenant or contract with us. Hebrews 10:16-17 “’This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days’, says the Lord: ‘I will […]
