Hear, listen, believe, and follow
His detractors wanted an answer that they could use against Him
Click here to read Steve Hessman’s reflection from April 28, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
We are making up our minds about what they are saying even before they finish. That’s the nature of the world we live in. And this is why it is more important than ever to spend quiet time with Jesus and listen to Him with an open mind and an open heart. Not to listen for what we expect Him to say, but simply to listen. Let our minds be changed. Let our hearts be changed.
Steve Hessman’s reflections: “Amen, Amen. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” John 12:24
Redemption is in Christ Jesus
His willingness to die so we could have eternal life
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from April 28, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
In the Book of Acts, we hear that a ‘great number’ or a ‘large number’ came to believe. The incident piqued my curiosity — not because people scattered in the face of persecution, nor because their message was received, but because it made me wonder what they actually said to those they met. Acts tells us in nonspecific terms that they were “preaching the word.” The details are not listed. So, what were they preaching?
Steve Hall’s reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
