When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 6
Jesus is everything we need. In John 11 Jesus interacted with three siblings and gives each exactly what they needed. Martha needed to clarity, she needed to know the Jesus is the Messiah. Mary needed compassion, Jesus wept with her. Lazarus needed resurrection, Jesus IS THE resurrection and life! We all need each of these gifts from Jesus (Ephesians 2:1-9). Come to Him and be born again.
When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 5
In the ninth chapter of John, Jesus heals a man blind from birth. Now this man did not ask to be healed and then he was heavily questioned about the healing. His response was simple and pure, “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” Though he was not seeking Jesus he know the truth and he boldly spoke the truth.

Jesus doesn’t just heal the woman; He transfers His purity and…

Jesus has power over these storms, power over the literal storms in His creation, and power over the storms in your life. When Jesus calms the storm (Matthew 8:23-27), the disciples even ask, ‘What sort of man is this?’ echoing Psalm 107:24-31. He is the master of creation! Though the disciples were afraid, and there is certainly a reverent fear we…
When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 1
When we have needs or even great desires, it is exciting when are they are fulfilled. There is great joy, rightfully so. When we are talking about the miracles of Jesus, there is even more excitement. However, we also need to be careful to not treat God as a vending machine, which has been the pattern of many pagan beliefs. When looking Jesus’ first miracle in John 2:1-11, we see that it is a sign that point to something very…
