Posted on by

But at the end of that period I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; for His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

In Mark 5:21-43 we find two people who could have been forgiven for thinking their situation was hopeless. Jairus, one of the synagogue rulers, came to Jesus and fell at his feet,pleading for the live of his daughter who was dying. We need to bring our children and their needs to Jesus now, not wait till they are in a life threatening situation. But sometimes through no fault of their own, … Continue reading →

How To Handle the Storm in Your Life.

The Christian life is not always smooth sailing. Sometimes we encounter storms. Are you in the middle of a storm in your life? Let’s see what we can learn from Mark 4:35-41 about how to deal with it. 1. Jesus sent the disciples off into the situation where the storm occurred, for it was at His suggestion that they all set out with him in the boat, verses 35 and 36. Obedience to Jesus may well put us in a situation where our faith will be tested as that of the disciples was. 2. However Jesus did not leave the … Continue reading →
