By [wbt_preacher_link preacher=”Sean Finnegan”] The main focus of the Gospels is the life of Jesus of Nazareth. However, they also reveal much about Jesus’ God. In fact, since Jesus always did his Father’s will, we can even say that Jesus’ words and deeds reflect God’s heart as well. God is a loving Father (Matthew 5:14-16; 6:5-15). Calling God “Father” or “Heavenly Father” is so commo...

By [wbt_preacher_link preacher=”Sean Finnegan”] Death is our biggest problem. Many of us actively avoid behaviors that will shorten our lives while cultivating habits that are good for us.

Matthew 13:3-9...
