"Jesus the Servant": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 23, Session 2: Jesus Teaches About the Cost of Discipleship
Jesus is not a salesman trying to make a commission, nor is He a modern-day influencer trying to garner as many followers as possible. Actually, in the passages covered in this week’s session, Jesus seems to be almost trying to deter new followers, refusing to sugarcoat the high cost of following Him by painting the bleakest picture possible.

God used the healing of this blind man to reveal that...

“Jesus the Servant”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 22, Session 4—Jesus Healed a Man Who Was Blind
This week we study perhaps my favorite Bible story in all of Scripture. I have enjoyed this passage for quite a while, but came to love it deeply about thirteen years ago. This week, I thought you might appreciate hearing the story of why. What in the World Are We Doing? My wife and I found out that we...
