Stepping out in faith…
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 …
I continually find things in the Bible that I never fully understood, no matter how many times I’ve read the passage. For instance, the parable about the ten virgins in Matthew 25. I understood that it was about us being prepared for Christ’s return. But I don’t think I fully understood what that entailed. I’ve …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Psalm 23 is probably one of the most well known and quoted chapters of any in the Bible, at least recognized if you began to read it. It was the first Psalm that I memorized. I was in the 5th or 6th grade and was challenged to memorize it overnight to recite the next day …
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 …
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 …
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 …
As we get older, we may wonder what people have gleaned from us through the years. What will my name bring to the minds of people as they remember me? I don’t mean to be morbid, but I think we have to be intentional to make our lives truly count for something. Joshua is nearing …
