The stories of Daniel, Jonah, Noah, Saul (Paul), Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Jabez, Esther, Abigail, and Ruth are not just ancient narratives but timeless accounts of faith, courage, and transformation.

John 10:10 The Message Version
6-10 Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep rustlers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
