Prepare the way You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’  John 3:28 When Jesus stepped into His public ministry after being baptized by John, John announced: He must increase, and I must decrease.

Jesus spent some time with them there.”  John 3:22 This is a transition scripture that really doesn’t get that much attention because on the surface it doesn’t look like it holds much meaning.  However, if we look a little deeper, itContinue reading “Wednesday, March 15, 2023”

Be A Superhero “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:17 We all love superhero movies.  We love to see the good guys win and the bad guys lose, but what is it about a superhero that makesContinue reading “Tuesday, March 14, 2023”
