Walking Through This Valley With Hope

Our church has experienced the deaths of close friends and family members recently. One in particular inspired this post.

Keep Asking, Keep Seeking, Keep Knocking!

In Luke 7:7-12 Jesus beckons us into a persistence and confidence in prayer. What did He want His hearers to learn? Pray Persistently - Jesus earlier said that the poor in spirit will be blessed. We are urged to pray persistently because we are poor in spirit; we are needy. We don't have the strength and grace by ourselves to live a Christ-like life, but Jesus does! Persi...
