  • Living Sacrifices

    Contributed on Jan 10, 2026
     | 46 views

    Paul reminds us that the Christian life is a full-life response to God’s mercy, calling us to present ourselves as living sacrifices to Him. True worship means daily renewal, humility, and unity within the Body of Christ.

    Living Sacrifices We began our epistle lesson with a “therefore,” and if you’ve been in church long enough, you probably have heard the therefore lesson. It comes up a lot in Paul’s epistles. Whenever there is a Therefore, you have to find out what came before the lesson, because the Therefore is ...read more

  • Hearing And Responding To God's Word

    Contributed on Jan 4, 2026
     | 60 views

    When God’s Word is heard, it always calls for a response. Today we look at how true worship begins when we let Scripture convict, change, and fill us with the joy of God’s mercy.

    Good morning. We have two readings today that describe a gathering of God’s people around reading His Word, they’re read together this Sunday to give us a nice Biblical compare/contrast on how to react when you hear God’s word, and especially when it is convicting. It’s also opportunity to reflect ...read more

  • When God Confuses Us

    Contributed on Dec 14, 2025
     | 91 views

    When God’s plans confuse us, as they did John the Baptist, Jesus reminds us that His kingdom begins with mercy before judgment—and blessed is the one who trusts Him even in the waiting.

    Good MORNING. Advent, Christmas and the New Year invite us to look at expectations, not only expectations for our own lives, but also the expectations we can make about God. Our Gospel lesson from Matthew shows us how even the best of us, someone like John the Baptist, can make assumptions about ...read more

  • The B-I-B-L-E

    Contributed on Dec 6, 2025
     | 97 views

    On Bible Sunday, we celebrate God’s Word as living, active, and true—a source of comfort, courage, and eternal hope that has withstood every test of time. Discover why the Bible is more than a book—it’s God’s personal letter to us.

    Good MORNING, and Happy Bible Sunday. As I begin, I’ll acknowledge something we all know but rarely say out loud: there is a reason that the Bible has very thin, see through pages, and that’s because it is a really, really big book, and would probably weigh twice as much if it was printed on ...read more

  • Our Joy And God's Completion

    Contributed on Nov 16, 2025
     | 113 views

    Paul reminds us that true joy comes from trusting a faithful God who begins, sustains, and completes His transforming work in all who follow Christ with grateful hearts.

    Our Joy and God’s Completion Good MORNING. Last week, we left Paul sitting in that Roman prison, as an ambassador in chains. Well, he’s still sitting there this week, though the guards have changed. New soldiers come in, and Paul keeps right on evangelizing them while writing a new letter to a ...read more
