John 14:1-11 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” For the next twelve days we have Jesus’ final discourse, John 14-17.

October 30 / John 13:36-38

John 13:36-38 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” There are not many incidents that are recorded in all four gospels, but Peter’s denial is one of those few.

October 27 / Matt. 26:30-35

Matthew 26:30-35 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” I had an all-day conference here in the DC area, so I am just now posting. Tired…! And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. (v. 30) There is a chronological problem here. Matthew …

October 26 / John 13:31-35

John 13:31-35 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one …

October 25 / John 13:1-17

John 13:1-17 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Just one item today, but a big item… Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father… (v. 1) Jesus knew that He was going back to His Father! This is stated again, two …
