The 15 Names of Jesus – Given in the Book of John
When my children were babies, I used to rock them and sing Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children and There’s Just Something About that Name…in that order. That final song was not only soothing to my babies but to me as well and so I would find myself singing it over and over and over. Sometimes I fell asleep in the rocking chair with my baby in my arms, humming that song. If you have never heard it before (it’s an oldie) here’s the lyrics: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there’s just something about that name.

Within the context of faith, doubt may arise when our burdens feel too heavy to lift. Doubt may arise when expectations go unmet or when there seems to be no answer to a challenging situation. Doubt may arise when we feel lonely, rejected or depressed or when we face struggle after struggle, with no end in sight. Doubt may arise when we are walking with the Lord faithfully and then tragedy hits. Doubt may arise when small lingering trials go on and on and we wonder where God is in the midst of it all. Doubt arises because of our humanity and while it may be human – it is not okay to remain in a state of doubt. The good news is, even in our doubts, the God we are not sure of, is certain to meet us right where we are. And so that brings us to today’s passage in John chapter 20. After...

Good Morning Girls Resources {John 11-15}
Welcome back to Week 3 in the Book of John! This week we will cross the half way point of our reading. Up until this point, we have been moving quickly through the life of Jesus but we are about to slow down.
