Fascination with Jesus drives passionate prayer. *Note: Please pardon my language. Use these notes to get the idea of praying Jesus’ Character. Don’t feel you need to use my language. The important thing is that you develop praying His character in your own language or words. The Power of Jesus: Jesus silences the furious storm on the Sea […]
At least three different times (that are recorded) the followers of Jesus argued about which of them was the “greatest.” (Mark 9:33, Mark 10:35 and Luke 22:24). At first glance we can pass over this because Jesus deals with it so gracefully. But we need to first stop and take a moment to examine this.
Luke 10:38 shows us an event where Jesus and His disciples were invited into Martha’s home.

There are several places where Jesus praises or compliments someone. Last week we saw Him compliment Nathaniel as someone in whom there was no “guile” or falseness. (John 1:47)

A Roman Centurion (Army commander of 100 men) sends word to Jesus through some Jewish leaders asking Jesus to come heal his sick servant. In the course of things the Roman soldier demonstrates faith essentially saying, “It isn’t […]
Have you ever thought about Jesus being the “kind of person” that praises other people or compliments them? I never did. My image of Jesus and God were… broken. I only thought of God finding fault with people. Or telling them to “do more.” Until I ran into several passages that helped “develop” my image […]
At the end of the month I combine (or “roll up”) all the character elements of Jesus that we have looked at through the last month. Here is this month’s “Roll Up”.
