The crisis point comes to every one of us when it comes to following Jesus. We see it most clearly in Mark 14. In reading its words, we find out about those who are all-in for Him and those who have their doubts about Him. The Savior is at a table in a house in […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
Reading through the gospels, we find interesting moments when Jesus was challenged by the ones who claimed to be servants of God and His Law.

There, amid the large donations dropped in by the wealthier ones in the community, these mites would seemingly get lost. They were not lost to […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
It comes as no surprise to me that as the time of the Cross draws near Jesus purposed to instruct His followers in the areas of faith and prayer. We read again about how He wondered aloud: “… When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). In Luke […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
Luke 16 opens with an interesting story Jesus told of a steward who wasn’t doing his job. He wasted his master’s goods says the passage. His inattentiveness was discovered and his employer was ready to fire the man. This served as a wakeup call for the steward. He examined himself – perhaps for the first […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
