    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 16, 2023
     | 393 views

    Just because we may have heard the word can we appropriately begin to speak? What has Christ brought you out of?

    In the verse before this one, Paul wrote that he would rather die than lose his reason to preach.

    If I am going to do battle for peace and justice, I need appropriate equipping -- sometimes for hard work, sometimes for self-defense, and always for a teachable spirit.

    There may be some things of which it can be said that one size fits all, but shoes are not among them. Shoes are very personal, and when they’re wrong, they’re wrong. If they hurt, they hurt. With some things, you can make do with the wrong size – a belt that’s too long, pants that are a bit ...read more

    Christ has been banned from government, kicked out of school, blacked out of the media, but to be replaced by an “X” on His own holiday does not seem appropriate.

Centuries ago, “X” was placed before “mas”, “X” being symbolic of the Greek letter “CHRI” which is the initial for Christos in the ...read more

    There are appropriate and inappropriate times and ways to judge others. Christ though instructs his disciples to pay more attention to their own faults than to the judging the faults of others.

    GUILTY AS SIN the headline read just a few years ago. The banks in New Jersey had been robbed systematically, one after the other. What made the robber stand out was his politeness. He just gave the tellers a note which said, “Please place your money in this bag. Thank you.” The newspapers ...read more

    A sermon extrapolating and applying Mary’s words to the servants at the wedding at Cana and applying them to our walk with Christ; for Mothers’ Day specifically, but appropriate for all occasions.
