Hope is God’s Response to Difficult Times
The parable of the Good Samaritan is familiar to many of us. We see in this parable that Jesus is challenged by the lawyers of the Hebrew law with the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus responded with a parable.

God’s Glory
Imagine the audacious Elijah, three years after predicting a drought, returns and puts the prophets of Baal to the test. He asks them, “How long will you waver between two opinions?

Turbulent Winds
Twelve years ago, we shared a blog post that’s still meaningful in today’s ever-changing world. It revolves around Matthew 14:22-33.
