    Sharing

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 13, 2022
     | 1,331 views

    The feeding of the 5000 in John 6 has many layers of meaning. One view is that the miracle is that Jesus got everyone to share their food.

    Sharing John 6:1-15 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz John 6:1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias). 2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and ...read more

    Finding The Lost Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Sep 10, 2022
     | 2,603 views

    We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.

    Finding the Lost Having Words with Jesus FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR C Luke 15:1-10 The Story of the Lost Sheep 15 1-3 By this time a lot of men and women of questionable reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently.

     | 1,907 views

    Paul deals with many of the same things we have all had to deal with before we became a Christian. Everyone has a past, everyone needs a pardon and everyone is called to proclaim the Gospel.

    Yes, Jesus accepted this world for what it is, for what we made it … twisted, broken, and full of hurt … but He so loves the world that He came to die for our sins on the cross, not to condemn us but that we might be saved through Him.

     | 3,069 views

    How many times have you seen a Capitol One commercial where you always hear the question, “What’s in your wallet?” As we hear today’s text a better question to ask is “What’s in your clay?” What’s in our clay that makes us resistant to how God is trying to mold us and shape us?

    Jesus' two parables in Luke 15:1-10 are about the character of God.

    “Getting too Friendly with Sinners” Luke 15:1-10 Imagine living in Jesus’ world and imagine being labeled a “sinner” in that world. Now, I think we stumble over that term in this context because according to Christian doctrine we are all sinners, right? But this wasn’t necessarily the way ...read more
