How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:38 NIV) This is one of my favourite Scriptures. For years I read it and missed the point. See, Jesus ofContinueContinue reading “No Good Apart from God”

Jesus: The Gift We Needed
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NIV) Ever since our twin nephews were born, we’ve gone to their parents for gift suggestions because they know what the boys need best. Of course weContinueContinue reading “Jesus: The Gift We Needed”
Christmas: A Journey of Faith
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23 NIV) It doesn’t make sense, does it? Even Mary, who was chosen to be the mother of God’s Son, didn’t get it. “How will this be,” MaryContinueContinue reading “Christmas: A Journey of Faith”
Mother Mary
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne ofContinueContinue reading “Mother Mary”
He is Touched by Your Faith!
While people were crowding and pressing against Him, Jesus stopped and asked the question, “Who touched me?” (Luke 8:45). Then Peter jumped in with his two cents, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you” (v.45). But Jesus wasn’t referring to just any touch, so He explained, “Someone touched me; I know that powerContinueContinue reading “He is Touched by Your Faith!”
Resurrection Moment
The devil thought he had won. Jesus was as good as dead, or so he thought. Then something happened that even the devil didn’t see coming – Jesus came back to life…stronger. There comes a time when this resurrection moment becomes a part of the Christian’s life. You experience a death of sorts and theContinueContinue reading “Resurrection Moment”
In Times of Doubt
John’s followers told John everything that was being said about Jesus. So he sent two of them to ask the Lord, “Are you the one we should be looking for? Or must we wait for someone else?” (Luke 7:18-19 CEV) Even the great preacher had his times of doubt. When Jesus didn’t bring the resultsContinueContinue reading “In Times of Doubt”
Behold His Salvation
“For my eyes have seen Your Salvation.” (Luke 2:30 AMP) God had revealed to Simeon, a man whom Scripture describes as “righteous and devout…[who was] looking for the Consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him…that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)” (Luke 2:25-26).ContinueContinue reading “Behold His Salvation”
Saving the Best for Last
When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn’t know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, “Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you’ve saved the bestContinueContinue reading “Saving the Best for Last”
Give It Up
Later, Jesus met the man in the temple and told him, “You are now well. But don’t sin anymore or something worse might happen to you.” (John 5:14 CEV) Sin tied him up for thirty-eight years. His only hope was that as he sat by the pool in Bethesda, someone would help him get intoContinueContinue reading “Give It Up”
