19 April 2020 1 Peter 1:1-9 This is a passage that absolutely gushes with joy and excitement and enthusiasm. It is all over the place with bubbly gratitude to God for what is going on in our lives right now, and for what lies ahead of us in the eternal realms. These are the words […]
12 April 2020 John 20:19-31 It is evening on the first day of the week, and the disciples of Jesus have cloistered themselves away in a very secure hiding place. It is quite possible that this hiding place is the very same upper room where Jesus had celebrated his last Passover with them only a […]
