    Right after an astounding and historical confession of faith, here we find Peter arguing with Jesus. And the source of the problem was predictable, since Peter was a human being stuck in the physical and being led into the spiritual realm. Self-interests

    What ‘if’s’ do we have in our lives that we think about, or even dwell upon at times? What would we do when those answers were realized? Would we really be any different? What then?

    If…Then Sept. 6, 2009 ‘If’ is a short, two-letter word that can carry very powerful meaning. If I had a million dollars, then I would be happy. I need to lose weight…if only I had the time to exercise. If only I had taken that other job, I wouldn’t be where I am today. If someone would ask ...read more

    Does luck really have anything to do with anything? Or does everything that happens is controlled by God.

    32nd is a series from Ephesians. Growing into the Head, Jesus Christ, requires us to develop both our vertical relationship with Jesus and our horizontal relationship with other believers.

They would say “this is going to hurt me a lot more that it is going to hurt you!” Has anyone said that to you? Just as they told ...read more
