      Jesus Sees the Rejected | John 5:2-9 & Luke 8:26-39

      Jesus Sees Women | John 20:1-11
Mary Magdalene is a surprisingly misunderstood and under-discussed disciple of Jesus. Although she was not named as one of the twelve disciples, as we will learn today, she was a key part of Jesus’ ministry and the spread of the Gospel.
 
      
      Response of the Holy Spirit | Galatians 6:1-10

      Empowered by the Holy Spirit | 1 Corinthians 12:1-13

It was my role to cheer him on, redirect him if necessary, and ensure his work was done.
 
      
      Follow Me | Luke 9:59-60
August 7, 2020, was a quiet morning. I prepared my coffee and oatmeal, the Holy Spirit brought to my mind the story of Jesus and the man who had to bury his father.
 
      
      P.R.A.Y. Like Hannah | 1 Samuel 1
When we receive good news or find ourselves blessed with finances, health, children, or title, it can be all too easy to look at those who are the have-nots. We wonder what they aren’t doing right, or we have all the answers and give our advice freely to them. We don’t realize the sting this may cause for something out of their grasp.
