It's About Time
Most of us have heard the "story" of Palm Sunday - Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey... but see, that's the thing: This isn't a story, and Jesus isn't entering a story: He IS The Story!! He is also The King - but He always comes in ways t...

Jesus' own mother experienced what every Christian does at some point: it's far too easy to take His Presence for granted! And when we do that, we unconsciously assume that the communion we had with Him yesterday is sufficient for today -...
