    Did you ever wonder what the disciples were doing and thinking on Easter Monday? They thought Jesus was going to replace the Roman Empire with a new Empire for Israel.. They just didn't get it. It took 40 days of explanation and the Holy Spirit. .

    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022
     | 1,529 views

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

    Taking the gospel to the end of the world required the Church to change. Each of us has the opportunity to change and grow until our very last breath. Every living thing must change to survive and fulfill its purpose.

    When Catastrophe Happens, What Next?

    No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

    Ascension 2022 I polished up my Ascension Day homily last Sunday. Then I tore it up on Tuesday afternoon. Senseless, mindless murder down the road in Uvalde, a place many of us have visited or lived.

    If God wants to give you a gift, know that it is a good gift (it’s nothing to be afraid of), and if this second work of grace is going to make you a witness for Jesus, then use it for his glory.

    We are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. American "performancism."

    Martha Campbell said of flunking her final exams and the resulting report card, and what her parents did: "I got a no TV for a week in math, a no dessert for a month in history, and a just wait 'til your father gets home in social studies." My seminary Bible teacher said, “The ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 20, 2024
     | 2,678 views

    Our Heavenly Father wants the Church to complete His Work by His mighty power and not by our ingenuity. The Church was born at Pentecost; consequently Pentecost has become a sacred holiday on the Christian calendar.

    Acts 1 reveals three divine promises that surpass any other promise in Scripture. Do you know what these promises are? And do you understand their significance to us?

    Please stand with me as we sing the hymn "Standing on the Promises." Sing along with me: "Standing on the promises that cannot fail When doubts and fears assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail Standing on the promises of God." As humans, we often struggle to keep our promises. We ...read more

    Guidance can be difficult and we may struggle with it. God often send to us the man with a pitcher. We don't have much of a picture of what lies ahead, but the Lord is there. Just take note of the man with a pitcher.
