    Following Jesus: Not Safe But Saved

    Contributed by Dj Thomsen on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,891 views

    Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, to follow him. He doesn't call us to lives of safety, but of salvation.

    This story that we have in the gospel reading for today is one that makes me smile because I feel like I know exactly what Simon is thinking here in this moment. I have had days like this fishing. Days where I’ve been out for hours and hours and there’s just nothing. And we tried everything, ...read more

    Following Jesus Without Denominationalism Series

    I want you all to know that the importance to all of this relates very closely to the subject of “Authority in Religion” . . . It is impossible to maintain unity unless we can agree upon a ‘standard’ of authority. Funny thing is . . .

    We live in a world that often challenges our faith. As Christians, we are called to be the light in the midst of darkness

    Brothers and sisters, we live in a world that often challenges our faith. As Christians, we are called to be the light in the midst of darkness, but the reality is that darkness does not always welcome the light. This is nothing new—Jesus Himself warned us about it in John 15:18. He said, "If ...read more

    The seemingly simplistic message of Christ crucified is the message through which God brings us to faith in Jesus and makes us fully equipped for life here and hereafter.

    To be like God is to be happy.

    Many years ago I was teaching an adult Sunday school class. Though I don’t recall the text or lesson, I remember a person and the statement she made. This woman was the mother of two teenage daughters, and her husband occasionally attended church. She said she wished you could be saved ...read more

     | 6,402 views

    Jesus is the "star" of Scripture and he is to be the star of our life. Is it he we are following or a star of our own making?

    “What’s in the stars for you?” Perhaps you remember seeing this huge front-page horoscope in the Edmonton Journal a few days ago. It may seem laughable to us that anyone would live his or her life by the “dictates of the stars” but the fact that the newspaper paid for the information and then gave ...read more
