As we forgive others

Abba Father
May 26th, 2025
I love the fact that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray. He gave them what we call the Lord’s Prayer but might be more accurately called the Model Prayer. I love what Max Lucado said in... Read More

Keep in Step with the Spirit
May 16th, 2025
Four verbs describing our Life in the Spirit…walk, led, live, and now in verse 25, “let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” Some translations repeat the word from verse 16 and say walk, but that i... Read More
