The Way of Jesus #3: Unless a Seed

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of the dark night that began the long, painful, and lonely journey of Jesus through his Passion to bring us to God and helped define the way of Jesus through the cross to the empty tomb.

Let Love Lead the Way

Red Boots and Christmas

Are we willing to live up to our religious-sounding talk?

To the Least of These, Like Jesus
