February 16, 2018 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

We travelled to many towns and villages, with Jesus teaching and healing people.  We could see that He was becoming increasingly sorrowful for the plight of the Jewish people; because they were being crushed by all the religious rules.  The religious leaders had imposed so many requirements that it was impossible to love God with… Read More »

I was used by some of the Jewish leaders to set a trap for Jesus.  I didn’t know in advance; but, when I was caught, I knew I was guilty of a Jewish law.  The punishment for my sin could have been death. I was taken to one of the outer courts of the temple,… Read More »

If only I could touch Jesus, I believe I’d be healed of this illness.  This dreaded illness has been with me for the last 12 years; and doctors haven’t been able to find a cure.  How am I going to get close to Him? There’s so many people around Him. Finally!  I just managed to… Read More »

Faith Story – The Storm

February 12, 2018 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

As evening approached, Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s go to the other side of the lake.”  Our boat was near the middle when a sudden squall produced waves that threatened to capsize the boat.  We managed to turn the boat into the waves; but they became so bad that they crashed over the bow,… Read More »

I heard Jesus speak to a group of people; and when He said it was necessary to repent of my sins, I felt like He was looking at me.  My sins were many and I wanted to be forgiven; and I wanted to change my life.  I believed if I could talk to Jesus, He… Read More »

Faith Story – My Son Lives

February 8, 2018 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

It was a day of sorrow and joy.  My only son died in the morning.  My husband and son, both gone, leaving me alone.  Sadly, our funeral procession passed through the city gate, on our way to the cemetery.  Through my tears, I saw a large group approaching the city.  Instead of stopping, the leader… Read More »

Within the Roman military apparatus I’m called a Centurion, which means I command a force of 100 soldiers.  I obey the orders of my superior officer as do the men who report to me.  Recently, my servant suffered a terrible illness, which left him paralyzed and in severe pain. I explained his to Jesus and… Read More »

Faith Story – My Hand Was Healed

February 3, 2018 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

It was a Sabbath, and I went to the Synagogue as usual.  This day was different, however; because the man called Jesus was there.  He looked right at me, so intently, that I felt like He was looking inside me.  Perhaps, He was reading my thoughts.  If He was, He would know that I was… Read More »

Faith Story – He Called Me

February 2, 2018 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

I remember the day, as if it happened yesterday.  I was sitting at my counter in the Customs Office, beside the lake when the Man called Jesus and some of His followers approached.   He headed directly toward me with His eyes fixed on mine, looking at me intently; as though He was studying me; perhaps,… Read More »
