Palm Sunday is a time of celebration and rejoicing. It is the prelude to the greatest event in history—a time when Jesus liberates those who obey Him. Sin is temporal and only lasts for a short season, and Heaven is eternal. An eternal life with Jesus wins hands down in comparison to a life of […]
It’s easy to overlook things sometimes, especially when they’re right in front of our eyes. We can forget how valuable something is and take it for granted. We are a chosen people, set apart and chosen for God’s kingdom. We are the Church and the obviousness that we are the Temple of the Holy Ghost […]
Jesus tells three parables of the lost: The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, and The Lost Son. Sheep have a tendency to wander off. They can drift away from the flock without even knowing it. The same thing can happen with people in their relationship with the Lord. Jesus does not tell why the sheep […]
Jesus used a number of techniques when teaching. In His Sermon on the Mount, He asked a number of questions to provoke thought. They were guiding questions.

Jesus’ invitation leads to a real life of liberty and not one of misery. A life of misery is a life of selfishness and […]
