The Holy Spirit gives us the power to be resilient, like Caleb, like Paul.
Pentecost Sunday - the Holy Spirit has come to all believers. What might that mean in each of our lives?
Acts 2.1-11 describes a radical scene that we must grasp - I am so excited about this!

just an introduction by Luke to Jesus' parable - Luke 18.9, but the words stopped me in my tracks
This poor nameless widow is a role model for all of us in prayer - Luke 18.1-8

Luke 16.1-13 is rather confounding ... check it out. What is the Lord telling us from this parable?
