Matthew 14:22-32, John 6:16-21 If, as a child you attended more than two weeks’ worth of Sunday School classes, you probably heard the gospel account of Jesus’ walking on the water. It’s a miracle that holds an important message on having an abiding faith in Jesus. It...

Philippians 4:1-14 Paul’s letter to the Philippian church may be one of my favorites and the reason why is simple. As someone who sometimes can be given over to griping and complaining about personal circumstances, this letter is a great reminder of how to give thanks...

Numbers 13 and 14 Most Bible scholars believe that the Exodus journey, where the Israelites fled under Moses from Egyptian slavery to the land promised to them by the LORD should have taken around 11 days. Now, you hear that, and you start thinking how? How does an...
