One of the things I admire about Peter is he’s not afraid to tackle the hard topics. Submission is likely one of those topics, and as we read Peter’s letter some nearly two millennia later it is bound to raise the ire of many. So as we consider these passages we need to take a step back from today’s…

11th hour Christians Matthew 20:1-11 Like most people, I love the parables of the Word of God. Not only are they in the New Testament but they are in the Old Testament as well.

Turn to and read Mark 1:21-39 . Pray. What does your “typical” day look like? Mark chapter 1, as we began to look at last week, really “sets the stage” for Christ’s ministry.
