Funeral - God's View Of Death
Contributed on Dec 10, 2024
Psalm 116:15, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
Let me read: Psalm 116:15, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” “Precious” that an unusual word to use at a funeral service.

The Christmas Star
Contributed on Sep 17, 2024
The Star of Christmas is not the star that led the Maji from Mesopotamia to Jerusalem and ultimately to Bethlehem. It's not the star on the top of our Christmas tree, not Santa Claus, not our good feelings, good will, gifts, hopes for peace, celebrations or any of the rest.

What Makes Us Uncomfortable
Contributed on Oct 18, 2023
There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.
INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more
