At Calvary – Episode 65 – Jesus… Both Humble and Great
Can anything good come from Nazareth? Nathaniel the apostle asked this question of his friend Phillip right before he met Jesus. It’s like us asking the question, “Can anything good come from a dump like this?” Jesus was a human being, like us in so many ways. How can we know that He can save…

Worried about What to Say?
We all do it. We have an important meeting with an old friend or a time of encouragement with someone who is struggling, and what do we do? We worry about what we will say. When we are trying to witness to a lost co-worker or friend, what do we do? We worry about what…

Why We Need Others
I would imagine there are exceptions, but not many people plan to be heretics. They don’t start out wanting to believe things that undermine the gospel. They didn’t plan to lead others astray.
