Please read Matthew 26:14-16 Since I learned several weeks ago that I would be writing about Judas, I have been thinking about him and his betrayal. After all, he is a guy who is remembered with disdain thousands of years later for making a very bad choice. His name is synonymous with someone who betrays a friend. Who wants… The post Devotion: Jesus Arrested appeared first on Sheridan Lutheran Church ..read more

Please take the time to read Psalm 46 I’ve always carried my problems like a weight only I can bear. Maybe it’s because I’m an only child.
