Life’s not always easy. It doesn’t go as we have planned. But God had his plan and it was more than any could have imagined! Jesus had been dropping hints that the end was near, but the disciples didn’t seem to understand what he was saying. Judas had already agreed to turn Jesus over to …
Where Is Your Faith?
We all have faith in something. When you sit down in a chair, do you examine it first to see if it’s sturdy enough to hold you or do you just sit down with faith that it’ll do what it’s supposed to do? Do you take the medicine you got at the pharmacy having faith …
God Is Always At Work
This morning was one of those times at church that I could really feel God at work! I plan out our music on a monthly basis, usually. I never know what the sermon is going to be. Even though I had this set planned weeks in advance, I wasn’t sure about the first song. I’d …
Galatians 3: Law Versus Faith
As we continue our look at Galatians, we find Paul urging the new Christians to be aware that those who live by the law are under a curse… 10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ”Cursed is everyone who does not continue to …
Galatians 3: Faith Or Law
As chapter 3 opens, we see Paul admonishing the Galatians. They had seen Jesus crucified and they confessed their belief in Jesus by what they’d heard. But, now they are questioning that… 1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like …
Why?
We’ve all had them; those weeks that it seems like we’re runnin’ on empty. Then the unthinkable happens! Loss of a loved one, money issues, job loss, illness. “Why me, Lord?” Isn’t this the state of David as he pens the 22nd Psalm? My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you …
Help Others As You Are Able
We become accustomed to our condition, having no hope that anything will ever be better. We often think money is the answer, but it’s usually not the answer. This week’s sermon took a look at the crippled beggar who waited by the gate called Beautiful for people to throw him their change. 1 One day …
Whose Side Are You On?
When we are posed with the question, “Whose side are you on”? We may not realize our decision may be a defining moment in time. Joshua didn’t realize who he was talking to when he asked the question. 13 And then this, while Joshua was there near Jericho; He looked up and saw right in …
God Provides
God sent Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. But, they grumbled about leaving slavery. He promised them a land of milk and honey. When they were hungry, he provided them manna. All they had to do was go out and collect it every day. Only enough for the day because it would spoil …
To Circumcise Or Not
As we continue our study in the book of Colossians, we come upon an argument between Peter and Paul. Let’s take a look at it. 11 When Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with …
