How To Make Jesus Mad
For the past few posts I’ve been examining the different aspects of Jesus’ character in order to help us get to know him better. After all in order to emulate his character we need to know what characteristics that Jesus had, that if we are honest, we can’t relate to. The depth of Jesus compassion
Jesus Interrupted
In these weeks leading up to Easter, I’ve been trying to get to know Jesus better and have been closely examining different aspects of His character. Jesus has a lot of qualities that you would expect to find in the savior of the world: He can perform miracles and heal the sick. He is also

Run Your Race
