Stepping out in faith…
One of my favorite Bible stories is about Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. I've heard this in many sermons by several pastors and watched a recent episode of The Chosen that addressed this scripture from the book of John in chapter 4. Today's sermon dug a little deeper into what's going …
Do you believe in Karma? You know, when your future is determined by your past? Karma is a religion. This week's sermon was about Jesus' 6th miracle. It's impossible for you to get the same impact from my blog post as I got from the sermon, but I'll give you a simple version. I've got …
Can God create a rock so big He couldn’t move it? Hold onto that thought. We’ll get back to it. Jesus had a way of upsetting the establishment; the religious leaders of his time. He did things that won the favor of the common people, but he enraged the religious leaders! They hated him because …
It's taken me awhile to dive into writing this blog post. When I look at my notes from Sunday morning I see so much information it's difficult to know where to start. But I do want to focus on the gospel because that's what this series is all about. You can check out the other …
This should be an easy question to answer for the Christian. But I think sometimes we try so hard that we fall short. We make it much more difficult than it has to be. We try to point out the things Christians shouldn't do instead of what they should do. Don't cuss, don't steal, don't …
I have grown up in the church, but I feel there is so much I didn't understand until I was older. Maybe I just didn't really listen when I was younger. I had heard the term "gospel" often, but didn't really equate it with the life of Jesus until I was well, older. You've probably …
It seems that we all want justice. But from what perspective? We each think of justice as being something different depending on how we look at the situation. Our sermon today was from John 21: 7-9, 15-19. Most of you will remember what Simon Peter did when Jesus was condemned to be crucified. So a …
Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus). Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So …
We can learn a thing or two from "Doubting Thomas". If we don't ask the tough questions how will we ever find answers? Leaving doubt to fester and grow is not going to give us peace. Afraid of what Jesus will say to you if you doubt that he is who he says he is? …
Jesus, whom the disciples had put their faith in had been crucified and buried. Just imagine how they felt. Fear would be a viable emotion considering what they were facing. If the Jews would kill Jesus, wouldn't they seek to kill his followers also? So they scattered and we find them hiding away behind a …
