Mission Trips and the Mission of God

The Transfiguration is a familiar story that is found within all three of the synoptic Gospels. In it, we find that Jesus, Peter, James and John have ascended a mountain.

The platform is graced by friendly faces who minister […]

Rustlings (October 7, 2019)

Independence Day is always on July 4. Valentine’s Day is always on February 14. Other holidays are a little more difficult to nail down. […]
