It Is Finished

Posted on December 17, 2024 by Pete

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Tim

Posted on May 3, 2023 by Pete

For others, they debated Him simply to try and trip Him up (Mark 12:13). But for a group of Sadducees, they had a theological bone to pick with Jesus. For them, the resurrection was problematic. It didn’t make sense. For … Continue reading →

Gathered to His People

Posted on January 18, 2023 by Pete

Paradise

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Pete

It would have been cruel if not true. The worst thing that could have been spoken if, in fact, it wasn’t the best. Only adding to the suffering, if it had no substance. And he said, “Jesus, remember me when … Continue reading →

Stepping Into the Father’s World

Posted on November 20, 2018 by Pete
