Andrew is easy to overlook because he is not as loud as Peter, and the Gospels do not track him as closely as they track James and John. But when Scripture puts Andrew on the page, a steady pattern shows up. He keeps pointing people to Jesus. Even a small line like...
Jesus was not trying to satisfy curiosity when He talked about the future. He was preparing His disciples to think clearly, stay steady under pressure, and keep serving Him when the world gets loud and confused. In Matthew 24:2 He makes a blunt prediction about the...
The Holy Spirit is not a late add-on to the Bible. He is there at the beginning, and He is fully God. At the same time, when you read Scripture straight through, you notice the way His ministry toward God’s people develops across time. Genesis 1:1-2 gives us our...
