Hosanna in the Highest!
by Addison Crissone
"Hosanna" is used to express a cry for help, as a declaration of the need for salvation, and as a request for freedom. We all need help. And we all need to be rescued at some point or another.
It is by exclaiming that Jesus is Hosanna that we are saved: we are expressing our belief and trust in Jesus that he can (and will) save us.

Do not act.
Do not speak.
But what would you do if silence was a sin?
What would you do in the face of evil?

Come Alive

Napping on a Boat
by Addison Crissone
Are you overwhelmed? Stressed? Or worried?

And neither should we.
