  • The Temptation Of Pleasing People Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021
     | 2,462 views

    When we start out wanting to serve God it is so easy to get distracted by what will please the people around us. But we have to choose one or the other, please God or please people.

    I had quite a dream last night. Spring training hasn’t even started yet, but in my dream I saw the final game of the 2007 World Series. It was in Wrigley Field. The Cubs were winning in the bottom of the 9th. Two outs, bases loaded. Kerry Woods is on the mound, looking to cap a phenomenal ...read more

  • Preparation For Ministry 2: Understanding Power Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021
     | 1,386 views

    The devil's offer of giving to Jesus authority over all the nations might have seemed like an easy shortcut to fulfill his calling, but of course, Jesus saw through the temptation of power. He saw power far above coercion. He saw the power of love and servanthood.

    When you hear me say the word, “power,” I’ll bet it can stir up all sorts of feelings inside. On one hand it may bring memories of a time when someone used power over you in a painful and destructive way and you cringe a bit inside. On the other hand it may stir up a hope of having power ...read more

    We are right to emphasize that God loves us, but we too easily forget that because he loves us he wants us to be the best we can be and calls us to a deep repentance.

    To be faithful to our God we must be concerned with much more than our own peace of mind or personal holiness. God calls us to care about others and the treatment they get in society.

Stephen Aram Probably most of us have heard people speaking about their faith as a very private thing, something you feel in your heart, something you don’t talk about.

  • When Jesus Comes, Peace

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
     | 4,053 views

    It is a bit audacious to talk about peace on earth in our world today, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace gives us hope.

    It’s a bit audacious to talk about peace, even on Christmas day, here in the year 2005, or any year, for that matter. Internationally, we have 160,000 of our troops stationed in Iraq, in harm’s way and far away from home, for Christmas this year. And the protests by the Sunnis against the recent ...read more

     | 5,956 views

    The weeks running up to Christmas can be really stressful. Remember that God comes to comfort his people.

    This is the second Sunday now in the church season of Advent, as we celebrate the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The word “Advent” means that someone is coming, or arriving.

     | 5,370 views

    The prophet Isaiah foretold some of the most beautiful results of the coming of Jesus.

    There is a phrase that you hear more and more this time of year, as we get closer and closer to Christmas. The phrase is ‘the true meaning of Christmas.’ Mostly you hear it used with an unhappy tone as people are missing out on ‘the true meaning of Christmas.’ I’m one of these people who like to ...read more

    Do you realize how much we need God to intervene in our world? The prophet Isaiah modeled for us a heart longing for God.
