You have your holiday all mapped out, but what do you do when God suddenly changes your plans? Will abandon your plans and follow God’s lead? See how Mary handled the unexpected.

The Miracle Standing Before Them

How do you respond to people who reject Jesus one day, then suddenly become a Christian the next day? Do you receive the news with skepticism or with celebration? Do you believe in the power of Jesus to miraculously transform a life to follow Him? In Acts 21, Paul is in Jerusalem in the temple […]
