Our encouragement today comes from Jesus' attitude and focus

in the story of raising Lazarus from the dead. In just the first 17 verses

of John 11, we see two distinctly different attitudes portrayed by Jesus

and his disciples. I hope you get challenged and encouraged by Jesus' attitude.

Our encouragement today comes from a beautiful, simple

story of how the nudge of the Holy Spirit eased our travel woes.

following an embarassing incident. The bottom line is to accept

help when it's offered and maybe more than that, ask for help in

accomplishing your tasks. I know it's not rocket science, but it could enhance your life.

Our encouragement today comes from Luke 5 where Jesus heals

the paralytic lowered to him through the roof. He saw their faith and

healed him. Then I askeed ChatGPT to give more examples of faith and

write a sermon on it. It's a powerful sermon. Listen and be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from the simple concept of FREE.

This simple idea came to me while riding my recumbent bike today because I

this thought took me next. It's life-giving.
