The Jesus Times
The Jesus Times is a series about Jesus. That should be obvious from the title, but it is built upon the idea expressed in Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Every snapshot we get in the life and times of Jesus then give us a glimpse of the past, which impacts our present, and defines our future. And that is really good news!
