Jesus asked his disciples at Caesarea Philippi who the world says he is. Then he asked, "Who do you say I am?" Who we believe Jesus is, truly, and what authority we believe he has in our lives will determine everything about our relationship with him.  Read More

Jesus gives his Disciples, and us, a prioritized commandment. Jesus says we are to love each other just as or in the same way and to the same extent that he has loved us. And then he gives the why. But what does it all mean to us in our real lives?  Read More
