Don't Lose You Focus

Contributed by Ian Lyall on May 20, 2010

God's people were in exile, facing hardship and a sense of abandonment. But God's plan of resoration cannot fail; we must keep our focus

The Jews were in exile in Babylon. They had turned their backs on their God, and they were, you might say, in a state on national depression. You only have to, for example, look at the words of Psalm 137: How could we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, ...read more

Touching The Untouchables

Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on May 8, 2006

Jesus touches those whom society has abandoned. No one is beyond the reach of Christ; and no one should be beyond the reach of the church either.

In our text, Jesus meets a man with leprosy. This man had been abandoned by society. According to the laws and traditions of the day, leprosy reduced a man to nothing. Everywhere he went, he had to declare his uncleanness. No one would dare get close to him. Touching him was not even considered. ...read more

Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more
