Jesus Revealed To Children

What Can the Righteous Do?

Seek, Ask, Trust

What Is Man That You Are Mindful?
The psalmist is amazed and full of praise that God, such an all-powerful being, would be mindful of humanity, who seems so insignificant by comparison to the universe.
Feed My Sheep
Jesus returns after His resurrection to find His apostles returned to what they knew before: fishing. Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him more than fish. He asks three times, for each of Peter’s denials. With each affirmation from Peter, Jesus reminds him of his true calling—caring for Jesus’ believers, His sheep.
