Sheepfeeder & Servant Leader
As Christians, we are not called to go with the flow of the status quo. Jesus doesn’t tell us to live our lives as followers of the world. Instead, our lives are meant to cut against the grain, to right the wrongs, bring justice to the marginalized, and love our neighbors as ourselves. Join me […]
What does it mean to be rooted in Christ? Let’s step into the question and see what Jeremiah 17:7-8 has to say about it. But are our minds open to the understanding that once we are rooted in Christ, this world is no longer our home?
Who am I? We all ask ourselves that question at times, generally when we reach a crossroads in our lives that require us to so some self-examination. Let’s look at what Paul has to say about this in his first letter to the church in Corinth.
Let’s take another look at the story of The Good Samaritan. It’s so much more than a story about doing good deeds or being a good neighbor. How is it related to our relationship with Jesus Christ?
Let’s talk about what it means to be a watchman in a chaotic world. What does God expect from us as watchman for his children? We live in a world where the truth often gets stretched and we need Jesus to be our filter as we step into our roles as watch people.
We all want to be seen. It is vital for our mental and spiritual health. It is our obligation to see people through the eyes of Christ and let them know that they are important to their Creator. Let’s drill down into that with this message entitled “You See Me.”
Epiphany is upon us as we ponder the wise men and women, each seeking their star to follow. Our hope is in the light from our Heavenly Father brought to us through his son Jesus Christ.
Let’s talk about getting stuck in our Christian growth and how to get unstuck. We’re going to look at Isaiah 40:31 and for some new encouragement.
Yesterday passed With only a whisper As you step into A future That begins today. You can never change Your yesteryears, The sun has set Leaving those days Cast in stone, Unalterable to the Winds and waves of time. But tomorrow awaits, Today a step towards What will be Tomorrow’s history. Another chance To make […]
The book of Luke provides us with an intimate understanding of the people and the story of the birth of Christ. MAKING SENSE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE Luke 1:28-35 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words […]
A fresh look at the Gospel of Mark BIRTHPANGS Mark 13:8 GIVING THANKS Mark 14:22-24
The book of Hebrews is filled with instruction, guidance and raw faith. Although there is contention over who wrote the book of Hebrews, it is a springboard for the pursuit of living a Christian life. It is filled with wisdom and assurance teaching the nature of having a Christian attitude in all that we do. […]
What about tomorrow? What does worrying profit us? We all do it, even the most fervent believers. Even though the Bible tells us in many places how worrying does nothing but cause us pain and anxiety. Let’s take a look at what James says about worry.
Who are we to sit in judgement of others. There is already a judge. A pure, honest, loving, gracious, and merciful judge. Let’s take a look at James 4:12 (NIV): “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?”
Do we truly realize how much values our relationship to him? So much so, Jesus sacrificed himself for it. Drawing closer to God is our most pressing quest. Let’s talk for a moment about how to do that.
If we are saved by grace, when why do we need to bother to work by doing good deeds and helping others. What’s in in for me? I already have heaven. What more do I need? As the song goes, “What’s love got to do with it?” WHY WORK? WHENCE COMETH MY WISDOM?
Do we do good works to earn favor with God or do we do good works because we have an honest loving relationship with God and want to do what pleases him? “Honesty in Our Motives” Rev Walt Wellborn The letter from James, the half-brother of Jesus, was written to the “twelve […]
“Return to Me” is the message reiterated throughout the Bible. It is a personal message to God’s children and it is a message that grows louder the farther we stray from him. He loves us so much that he provided a way through his son for us always to find our way back.
Let’s talk about justice for a few minutes as we engage with this message called: Rivers of Justice. Amos was a wise prophet constantly seeking justice for the less fortunate, a true champian of the underdog. Jesus fought for the underdog as well. How do we example this in our daily lives?
“Blown By the Wind.” That usually signifies to us that someone is flighty, a free spirit. And, unfortunately, we often have a negative resonse to such people. But maybe it might surprise you that God talks about this; about being blown by the spirit, given to listening to his voice above our own. Join me […]
