And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him,…
And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. Mark 6:5-6 As Jesus was preaching, teaching, and healing, he came to his hometown. They questioned his validity, and refused Him. He marveled at their lack…
And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at…
Writers note: I feel compelled to tell you from time to time the main purpose of these writings. They are ultimately for my kids, to guide and teach them God’s Word. I want them to view life through the lens of the Bible. I desire for them to have a Biblical worldview. The writings follow…
