Stepping out in faith…
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 …
When Jesus came to earth, he certainly didn’t come in a way that anyone had imagined. They were expecting a King...they got a baby. And who would have thought He would turn religion on it’s ear?! One would think the religious leaders would welcome the Messiah with open arms, but they ignored the way he …
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 …
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 …
It's always one more thing that has to happen before we can have peace. What is it for you? What season do you need to get through? I can remember thinking when my girls get through college, we'll be able to do some traveling. But when they got through college it was something else...always something …
