It wasn’t until the last night of His time with the disciples that Jesus turned to them and called them His friends. Today, many who follow Jesus may be disciples, servants and even full time ministers for Jesus, but they are missing the relational intimacy of friendship with Him. He’s calling us to His inner…

It’s tough trying to understand the layers of significance in the Bible with an American mindset, but if we will take the time, we will discover more richness than we could imagine…like the in the life of Abraham, God’s covenant partner and friend. We know about the birth of Isaac, but do we understand all…

The Bible teaches us a lot about how we relate to God through our natural relationships. He refers to Himself as our Father and us as His children.
