Walk on Water? Why? (Matthew 14:22-33)
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…

Confusion is Part of the Learning Process
I know a secret; the more I learn about the Bible, the more I learn about myself...the disciple's confusion demonstrates that they took Jesus seriously.
 John 16  New International Version – we read…  “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that…

Charles Spurgeon's MORNING AND EVENING: MARCH 27
Charles Spurgeon’s MORNING AND EVENING: MARCH 27
MORNING “Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.” Matthew 26:56 He never deserted them, but they in cowardly fear of their lives, fled from him in the very beginning of his sufferings. This is but one instructive instance of the frailty of all believers if left to themselves; they are but sheep at the best, and they flee when the wolf cometh. They had all been warned of the danger, and had…

To Believe, or Not (Mark 16:9-18)
There are some who may search for evidence their entire lives, never to find it, because they want confirmation by means of their own mentally contrived and culturally conditioned constructs.
The risen Jesus appears to his disciples, by Unknown Italian artist, 1476 [Note: The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.] When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that…

Every Parent's Dream
Every Parent’s Dream
Tumblr media
Isaiah 54:13 is every parent’s dream.
“All your children will be followers of the Lord, and your children will enjoy great prosperity (peace)”
Parents bring children into this world amidst oohs and ahhs and oh how cute. But, then the reality hits, babies not only desire but command attention 24/7. They want to be fed, changed and loved. They need this to grow and feel secure. Isaiah writes this…

Extracts from the writings of William Gurnall-PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING
Extracts from the writings of William Gurnall-PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING
PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING
Tumblr media
“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6.
PRAYER the sign of life. What is prayer, but the breathing forth of that grace which is breathed into the soul by the Holy Spirit? When God breathed into man the breath of life, he became a living soul; so when God breathes into…
