    What’s in a glass of wine? What’s in a tiny glass of wine? Forgiveness, rightness, closeness, conscience-cleansing, redemption, cleansing- that’s what. It’s not so little, is it? The amount of beverage might be little, but it carries big meaning!

    Meaning of the Wine April 5, 2003 Each time we come to church and participate in the Lord’s Supper, the second symbol we use is wine. Now that’s a potentially controversial symbol today, in some circles, but was a very ordinary matter of meals in Jesus’ day, and still is in many cultures. Just ...read more

     | 136 views

    On a mountain with Peter, James, and John, the veil is pulled back and the true glory of Jesus is revealed. In A Mountain of Meaning from Mark 9:2–13, we explore why this moment matters and what it means for us when the Father’s voice still calls us to one simple response: “Listen to Him.”

The first time a doctor used the word “cancer.” The first time you stood at a graveside. The first time you truly understood that Jesus died for ...read more

    Today many are re-evaluating the lifestyle of seeking pleasure. The rich and famous are coming to the same conclusion of another rich and famous person Solomon, “meaningless”.

    People try all avenues to bring meaning and purpose to their life. I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 2:1) You name any field, professional sports, business, politics and if you do just a ...read more
