Don’t Be A Hypocrite | Claire Bertrand | A Faith That Works: A Study of The Book of James

Glad I’m Going Through It? | Claire Bertrand | A Faith That Works: A Study of The Book of James

Setting The Table For Jesus | Gavin Epp | At The Table: Where Jesus Teaches & Feeds
In Luke 10:38–42, Jesus enters the home of Martha and Mary. While Martha rushes around trying to prepare their home for Him, Mary simply sits at Jesus’ feet and listens. Jesus gently reminds Martha—and us—that only one thing is truly needed: to be with Him. Our lives...
This Is What You’re Searching For | Eric Holmstrom | At The Table: Where Jesus Teaches & Feeds
