Read 2 Samuel 12:7 NIV “Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!…” If you go and check this verse from Samuel you will see that I truncated it – and Nathan’s words weren’t meant to be a compliment! After David’s sin with Bathsheba, he arranged the death of her husband Uriah (2 Samuel […]

Read Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” You probably aren’t supposed to have favorite disciples…but I do. It’s Peter. I like Peter because he did some really bold things, but he messed up a lot too – kind of like me. I love the account of Jesus calling Peter to walk […]
