Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

In Court and On Trial

Keep Walking

Sometimes when you want to achieve or have something, you have to work a long time for it. We'll use exercise as an example. When you exercise you get a lot of health benefits, and it doesn't even have to be a lot of exercise! Just fifteen to thirty minutes of walking...
