Thank God for the grace given by Jesus Christ.

THANKSGIVING FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Paul offers thanksgiving to God for the church at Corinth (1 CORINTHIANS 1:4).

Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Pointing Out The Lamb Of God

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 15, 2023

The suggested response for how to process that and thank him is simply to be his friend.

In all the artwork that portrays our Gospel scene today, the artists show John the Baptist pointing at Jesus, often with his whole arm extended, saying, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The only people who are allowed to point at others, and even yell, are Drill Sergeants! John was not ...read more

Don't Drink With The Prostitute (Revelation 17:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 1, 2023

A call to avoid compromising with the world for the sake of power, pleasure, or wealth. A no rapture, practical reading of Revelation.

Many of us, at one point or another, have found ourselves desiring a different kind of life. A better life, with nicer stuff. A life with "more." This desire for more tends to run in four directions: (1) Power/fame. At times, we get tired of having no voice, no say, no authority. We ...read more

The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2023

God's existence is obvious (Romans 1:18-20) through creation and our conscience. The evidence is there for anyone willing to take their blinders off, swallow their pride, and humble themselves.

The world cannot comprehend the idea of a precise, preconceived, set, rational, and personal creation of a God who is outside of space, time, and matter, and able to put everything into existence for a reason. They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more

When Babylons Fall, Cry, Or Celebrate? (Revelation 18:1-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 11, 2023

A practical, no-rapture, academically rigorous approach to Revelation. A call to rejoice, and to "come out" from every Babylon.

Last week, in Revelation 17, we read in depth about two main characters: the Beast, and Babylon. We've seen repeatedly that the Beast is a symbol for evil human empires. Satan takes ordinary nations, and makes them extraordinary by giving them his power, and authority, and throne. But as ...read more

Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 - Lie Like The Devil? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 17, 2010

To me the real star in this soap opera scenario in Genesis 20 is not the beautiful 90 year old heroine. It’s not the big business tycoon with a LYING PROBLEM. It’s the UNDER-DOG who gets caught up in a life and death struggle by mistake.

Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 – LIE LIKE THE DEVIL OR…? She is 90 years old, BEAUTIFUL. SARAH catches your attention. The perfect Hollywood star, aging gracefully and looking years younger without the use of LIPOSUCTION, HAIR COLOURING, BREAST IMPLANTS, FACELIFTS and all the rest, Sarah doesn’t even ...read more

Who Do You Want To Be? (John 20:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

We see three different responses to Jesus' resurrection. And those three force us think about how we should respond to the reality that Jesus has risen, and ascended.

Let's start today by reading from 1 Corinthians 15 (NRSV): 15 Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters,[a] of the good news[b] that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2 through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I ...read more
