by Grace Outlaw Matthew 27; John 15; Luke 23 When my son was an itty-bitty toddler, I remember a time I stopped to get fuel for my car. In the time it took me to scan my card, input my zip code and start pumping gas, I heard my son crying. I quickly opened the door to see what was wrong, and through the heart-wrenching, heaving sobs, my son only managed to exclaim one thing over and over, “You left me!” When I ducked out of sight to pump gas, my son strapped safely in his c

by Grace Outlaw Mark, Luke, & John This is Peachtree City. I will hazard a guess that the overwhelming majority of us have been at our child’s baseball game, or soccer match, and had the official make a call against our kid that was… unfair! Complete and total hogwash! Nothing gets me fired up more than when I feel like someone is coming for my kids, and I’m sure many of you can relate. And I know we’ve all seen how many of those parents react when they experience these fee

The Last Supper as we’ve come to know it, had to have been the absolute strangest Passover meal any of the disciples had ever been to! Picture Jesus, hosting a dinner party… the night before His crucifixion! The disciples thought this would be a traditional gathering of remembrance

by Grace Outlaw Matthew & John In the days leading up to Easter, we reflect on one of the most poignant moments in Jesus' journey to the cross: the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. This event, recorded in all four Gospels, serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of human nature and the depths of God's love and forgiveness. Judas, one of the Twelve chosen by Jesus, betrayed his savior for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). This act of treachery stands in stark
