God Provides
by Curt Dodd on February 10th, 2024
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19) I grew up in a single-parent family. My mom and dad divorced when I was 10 years old. After they separated, my dad vacated our lives, and I only saw him twice before he passed away, once in the fifth grade and once right before I graduated from high school. Because my dad was absent from ... Read More

When God Repeats Himself
by Curt Dodd on June 22nd, 2023

by Curt Dodd on April 9th, 2023
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. (John 20:17-18)The resurrection experience that these women had was very powe... Read More
