What Did Jesus Say About His Family?

Today’s teaching is what I call my “favorite scene” in the New Testament. I am so happy that Mark  felt that what happened here was significant enough to write down and to pass it down so that it can be shared with us today…

What Did Jesus Teach About Traditions? ...And What It Means For Relationships and Grudges

Those "tiny" grudges - they block relationships. We think they are no big deal, but they block growth in our relationships with our friends and our family members; and they also block growth with God and our ability to draw near to Him.

Cast All Your Anxieties to God...But How?

He asked for all our anxieties!  If we don't give them to Him after He asked for them; then we are just responsible for making our own mess in our own heads. But how do we do that?
