you don’t need a sign from God
Yesterday morning I preached a sermon called “Something Greater is Here” from Luke 11:29-32 and in this passage Jesus says: “It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given…” There are many people today looking for “signs” from God that will show them or convince them what is true, or right, or what…

if a picture is worth a thousand words–then speak to me!
I took this photo last summer while we were serving in the jungle of Ecuador. I don’t know anything about this young guy. I don’t know his name or his age. All I know is where I was when I took this picture. We were standing right on the bank of the Napo river at…
