Offer your heart to God

“People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

While Saul was still king over Israel, God sent the prophet Samuel to Bethlehem. At God’s instruction Samuel was to fill his horn with oil and go anoint a new king – a son of Jesse.

7 Messianic Claims in John

Jesus Proclaims Who He Is In The Gospel Of John

The disciple John is the son of Zebedee. It was along the shore of the Sea of Galilee they prepared nets in their boat with John’s brother James. The Bible tells us: Without delay he [Jesus] called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him. Mark 1:20
