Mary’s story is about a song she sang, before the Christmas […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/going-through-the-motions-6685 2012-08-27T14:49:31-05:00 It's possible to know all about Jesus, but not really know Jesus, if you've missed the one step that makes the Savior your Savior. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/super-donkey-6653 2012-07-11T10:50:46-05:00 The finger of God may be reaching down from heaven and pointing to something or someone that we're holding tightly. And He's saying, "The Lord needs it." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/not-just-at-christmas-6509 2011-12-22T10:43:24-05:00 Today move beyond a religion about Jesus - to this love relationship with Jesus. Move from just believing things about Jesus - to really belonging to Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-ultimate-royal-spectacle-6406 2011-08-08T11:53:14-05:00 Jesus is coming back to His world. He's coming unannounced, He's coming uninvited. But today the King wants to come into any heart that will welcome Him and enthrone Him. See, today the question is, "What will I do with Jesus?" Then the question will be, "What will Jesus do with me?" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-ultimate-royal-spectacle-6338-b 2011-04-28T15:10:31-05:00 He's coming back to His world.

To become your personal Savior from the guilt and the penalty of your sin. To cancel the hell that you deserve for a heaven you could never deserve. All that becomes yours the day you open your heart to Jesus and tell Him that you're turning from your sin and you're going to put all your trust in Him. He's the rescuer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/dying-of-stubbornness-6106 2010-06-07T11:32:15-05:00 We humans are pretty proud folks, right?
