The Two Responses to the Gospel – Blind Eyes or Open Hearts?
Every generation responds to Jesus in one of two ways. Some recognize Him as Lord and gladly surrender their lives.

The Two Responses to the Gospel – Two Hearts Before the King
Every encounter with Jesus demands a response. Matthew 21 paints one of the clearest pictures of this truth. Jesus entered the temple, cleansed it, healed the sick, and received the praise of children crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David.” While children worshipped with joyful faith, the religious leaders became indignant. Why such different…
