Funeral Of John Barclay Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 11, 2021

“Precious” that an unusual word to use at a memorial service. And in fact, I don’t think I ever heard it used at a memorial service. Now in the hospital, in the birthing unit, “precious” is a probably a common word choice. But not at a memorial service!

Three Strikes But Not Out!

Contributed by John Bartol on Jan 26, 2013

Insights into the fall of Simon Peter through his threefold denial of Christ. How God used the crowing of a rooster, the look of Christ and the prayer of Christ to bring Peter back with tears of heartfelt repentance.

Ready To Serve

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 1, 2026

Seeing the world through eyes of faith, and living in devotion to God, doesn’t just happen by accident. It emerges from intentional nurture from one day to the next, and from one generation to the next. It is nurtured in the retelling of the stories, and in the remaking of the vows.

There’s a story I rather like about the college freshman biology class which kept a rattlesnake in a cage in the laboratory. The students enjoyed the monthly feeding almost as much as the snake did.
