    Faith In The Right Things

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2025
     | 210 views

    This morning, a Canaanite Woman barges into the house Jesus is praying seeking his help. Jesus comments seem cold, but her acknowledgement of Jesus authority, and her need for Grace brings about a great lesson in where we stand before God.

    Good Morning. Today, we have a tough lesson, in that it seems to show us a Jesus who is not the approachable loving friend we sometimes can imagine, but standoffish, aloof, and cold; similar to the way he talks to Mary in Cana before He turns water into wine. As the cartoon on the bulletin cover ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Nov 20, 2006
     | 2,490 views

    Christians sometimes fail to realize the great eternal value of the gifts God has given them if used in his service; the widow’s mite and the poor widow in Elijah’s day are examples of how God values our gifts.

    Proper 27 B BE THOU A BLESSING MOTIVE FOR MINISTRY I Kings 17:8-16 The word of the Lord came to Elijah the prophet, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to ...read more
