HUB Bible Study – April 2

Alicia AndersonBible Study, Devotions Leave a Comment

The angel tells Mary and Mary to go tell the disciples and especially mentions Peter, who denied Jesus.  Jesus still wants to see him and talk with him.  God’s welcome doesn’t depend on our faithfulness, but God’s faithfulness.  Seems like fear and respect are all bound together when it comes to our relationship with God.  Like those Jesus appeared to …

There certainly are times we live through where those in authority use the cover of darkness to hide actions and try to keep the peace among the public today.  Like Peter, we intend to be faithful, but then panic or loose heart and don’t.  On our life’s journey, we move toward and away from God over and over again.  Those …

Things die and become new – even better than we could have imagined.  God has a deep, persistent, unwavering commitment to us, – from the least to the greatest.  God forgives even “grossly imoral acts” and more…not even remembering them.  How did the public perception of Christianity and Jesus’ followers get so messed up?  New life, faithfulness, forgiveness are what God is all about, …
