3d ago6:01

6:01

The “BEST BOSS in the World” doesn’t really describe WHO the Lord really is, or what He really means, to those who follow Him. He is so much more than what the world might term as a “boss.” WHO is He? And how does knowing WHO you work for impact the QUALITY of one’s work? We’re going to talk MORE about this, in this week’s S2E9: PODCAST EPISODE! Ta…

It was immediately after Jesus’ LAST WORDS to His disciples. After saying to His disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them, and that they would be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8), Jesus was taken up in a cloud. They watched the whole thing. In fact, they strained …

It’s been two years since my brother and I had our kidney transplant surgery. I remember that hard and difficult conversation I had with my brother, Kenny, when he told me his kidneys were failing.
