Jesus and a Cup of Joe Royce Bottoms

The Bible encourages us to focus on heavenly things, seek God’s kingdom, and avoid being conformed to the patterns of this world. Our love for Jesus should surpass any attachment to worldly desires or pride

God is near to the humble, so being truthful with ourselves and with God about all that we lack is the first step to drawing near to Him so that we can access the Living Water only Jesus can provide.

Three men who hung on three crosses, who died three incredibly painful deaths. But only One who died and rose again.
 
What did the Lord hope we would learn from the three crosses and the men who hung there? Join me as I look into this event.
 

Jesus' words “it is finished” seem strange. After all, he was dying on the cross. What had he finished? What his audience didn't know was that his death on the cross was accomplishing something life-changing.
