Our faith regarding the Resurrection looks a little different from our faith regarding the Nativity or the Crucifixion. Join me as we explore why that is and how we can emerge stronger in our Christian faith when we choose to engage with our Risen Lord. “He is risen. He is risen indeed.”
When things are good, we want to remain in the moment. We don’t want the party to end. We even tell ourselves that it will never end. While he rode on that donkey into Jerusalem, Jesus knew what the disciples refused to accept. Let’s talk about that.
Things changed for the Children of Israel the moment they stepped into the promised land. What they new as a way of life suddenly became something totally different. That happens to us as well. Change is often just what we need to grow and embrace our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Are we fools for believing in the resurrection? Are be fools for following a 1st century rabbi that bucked the system at every turn? Are we fools for believing that he sacrificed himself for us on a cross of shame? Are we fools to believe that the world can be a better place? Join me […]
Where Lies the Heart? What are we hiding in the very depths of our soul? When others look into our hearts, what treasure do they find? Our Lord teaches us that when our treasure in our heart is gathered from the world, we find ourselves losing our grip on the truly important things in our […]
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 […]
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.
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?”
