Only Faith Beyond This Point

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 NIV) If faith is the key we need to unlock the doors we must pass through in life, not many of us would getContinue reading “Only Faith Beyond This Point”

God Has the Last Say

“Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.Continue reading “God Has the Last Say”

Behind the Scenes

Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. (Acts 9:40 NIV) Peter had become well known for healing the sick. In Acts chapter five, we’re told, “people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadowContinue reading “Behind the Scenes”

A Walking Miracle

But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say… For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. (Acts 4:14, 22 NIV) When things continued to look dim, the mother seemed to lose all hope that her daughter could everContinue reading “A Walking Miracle”

Christ’s Witnesses

The man who had been healed begged to go with him.

Give Him a Shout-Out

Next a poor demon-afflicted wretch, both blind and deaf, was set down before him. Jesus healed him, gave him his sight and hearing. The people who saw it were impressed—“This has to be the Son of David!” But the Pharisees, when they heard the report, were cynical. “Black magic,” they said. “Some devil trick he’sContinue reading “Give Him a Shout-Out”

Seldom Early but Never Late

There’s a quote that says, “God is seldom early, but He is never late.” We find that true of the following stories in the Gospels. Jesus showed up after… -Lazarus was dead for 4 days;-Jairus’ 12 year-old daughter had died;-the widow’s son was dead;-the woman had spent all her money on doctors who couldn’t findContinue reading “Seldom Early but Never Late”

Spiritual Blindness

“I was blind but now I see!” (John 9:25 NIV) After healing the man born blind, Jesus went on to talk about spiritual blindness. See, the devil can spiritually blind us to many things, but God is able to open our eyes so we can see the truth. Prior to his conversion, Paul, or SaulContinue reading “Spiritual Blindness”

Always Thank God

Jesus asked, “Weren’t ten men healed? Where are the other nine? Why was this foreigner the only one who came back to thank God?” (Luke 17:17-18 CEV) “Why do you think the other nine lepers didn’t come back to thank Jesus?” I asked the Sunday school kids. “They went to tell their families and friendsContinue reading “Always Thank God”
