With the season coming upon us where we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord, I would like to ask each of you to pause for a moment to reflect on the four different trials that Jesus was forced to go through. He was tried first by Annas, then...
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." (Acts 4:13-14) Did you ever wish you had the gift of words? You know, the...
