Think you know everything about Jesus’ miracles? Think again! At The Carpenter Shop, we’re getting down and dirty with a topic most would rather avoid: spit. But believe it or not, this seemingly disgusting bodily fluid played a crucial role in three of Jesus’ most remarkable healings.
Join us as we explore the fascinating and often uncomfortable accounts where Jesus used saliva – sometimes directly, sometimes to make mud – to restore sight and speech. We’ll unpack why He chose these peculiar methods, contrasting ancient beliefs with Jewish cultural revulsion, and ultimately reveal a profound spiritual truth: God’s power isn’t limited by our understanding or even our disgust. If His spit could bring healing, imagine the transformative power of His blood! Get ready for a message that will challenge your perceptions of divine intervention.

Why is it so hard to utter the three most powerful words in the universe: “I love you”? From humorous (and perhaps ill-advised!) comparisons to genuine human intimidation, we often stumble. But what if there’s a love being spoken to you daily, one that never hesitates, never fails, and completes everything you are?
Join us in the carpenter shop as we delve into 1 John 3:1 and Jeremiah 31:3 to discover the divine, unwavering ‘I love you’ that echoes from our Heavenly Father. It’s the strongest magnet, the warmest blanket, the safest region – a love that saves, completes, and transforms. No matter your day, you are loved. Slow down, listen, and let His profound declaration resonate in your heart.
