Matthew 23:1-12 {Prayer} Deception … to some, it’s a game, to others … well, whether they mean it to be or not … it’s a way of life. Either way … it is something which every single one of us is good at. During the Prohibition Era a California product was being sold…

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 It must have been an awesome sight. Can you imagine it, standing there with Peter, James, and John on that mountain when suddenly Jesus starts glowing and then blazing before your very eyes?

{Prayer} Even though I know we are middle of winter, I want us to skip ahead and think about a popular and interesting little creature of summer … the grasshopper.
