Are We the Good or Bad Yeast?
Luke 13:20-21 “Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.” What is the kingdom of God like? Here it is described as a yeast that works itself… Read more »
Does Prayer Really Work?
DOES PRAYER REALLY WORK? Luke 11:1 “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’” Jesus is teaching us how to be effective in prayer. First, we are to come with… Read more »
