GOD’S WORD FOR YOU JONAH 1:17 Part 1 17 But the LORD provided a huge whale to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights. Our Savior uses this passage as a sign of his own death and resurrection (Matthew 12:40). We do well to pause and […]

God’s Word for You – Luke 13:6-9 Grace, Faith and a Fig Tree
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 13:6-9 The Parable of the Fig Tree What is grace? As we consider Jesus’ Parable of the Fig Tree, we are led from the doctrine of repentance in the previous statements to an understanding of the grace of God who gives us time to come to faith in Christ and […]
God’s Word for You – Luke 13:4-5 The tower of Siloam
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 13:4-5 Seventeen years ago I used this passage on the day after 9/11 in chapel with the children of our elementary school.
