The Ten Lepers
Since leprosy has for the most part been eradicated from the face of the earth, most folks might think that a discussion about Jesus healing the ten lepers is no longer relevant. But, perhaps we should look closer at another possibility…spiritual leprosy. The Commandment requiring us to honor our father and mother seems at first to be fairly straightforward. But, unfortunately, many people have difficulty living out this Commandment because of brokenness within the family itself.
Simon Do You Love Me

The Wedding At Cana: Not Just A Miracle
The Wedding feast in the town of Cana, attended by Jesus himself, is known for being the place of his first public miracle, a manifestation of his divinity. But, the story of this wedding gathering tells us so much more about Jesus and his mission of salvation.
