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.

Craig Shafer continues our current study of the Upper Room Discourse, Jesus’ teaching to His disciples right before being betrayed.

Meeting Jesus, Pt. 8

Today Craig Schafer takes a look at Jesus’ encounter with a woman who cleansed the Lord’s feet with her tears and hair, and anointed them with expensive ointment … much to the disdain of the meal’s host, who only saw her as a sinner whom he thought Jesus should shun. Instead Jesus said that her sins, which were many, were forgiven because of her great faith in Him.

Practical Faith – Pt. 12

In part 12 of our summer study of the Book of James, Craig Schafer teaches on James 5:7-12 and refers to doing versus thinking as a balancing act of faith.
