He never appears as a stand-alone character in the Gospel accounts, but he is always paired with his younger…

We looked a few weeks ago at Jesus rebuking a demon and casting him out of a man in the synagogue. Our passage today is a continuance of the narrative of events that happened the same day. So…

Introduction This Torah Portion goes from Numbers 25:10-30:1 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
