In one of the most stressful and exhausting days of Jesus' earthly ministry, Jesus sent the disciples ahead of him in boat across the Sea of Galilee. He was going to meet up with them later. He stayed behind to spend time in prayer. The disciples could have never imaged what would happen next. When … Continue reading I Am. Don’t Be Afraid.

Who is Jesus?
