Just sort of realizing how interesting a lesson this is on hospitality... One one hand, how wonderful a transformation, once Jesus reached out, to see Zacchaeus totally flip is lifestyle and commit to...

So he answered them, “Go tell John what you have seen and heard: The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them. ...

Good news. Great joy. For all the people. 🙌

There's so much packed into this summary of John's ministry: "the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness" -- after centuries of silence, God now speaks to His people; God's wo...

This seems like a good time to thank Jay, Jimmy, and Travis for working hard to lead us all through this study. God bless each of you for your commitment!
