    Believe it or not, you don’t have to have it all together to serve Jesus Christ. In this week’s study of the Gospel of Mark we learn how Jesus trained His disciples through disappointment and death to bring the gospel.

    Sports teams always like to play before a hometown crowd. Here in Portland they say that the “fan factor” can really help the Trailblazers win games.

    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

    Matthew 5 - Part 14 - WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE HATES YOU? I remember years ago that a man wrote a nasty letter to me and included in it a curse and all kinds of false accusations. To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more

     | 35,797 views

    DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BELIEVE FOR OTHERS TO BE HEALED even if they don't have the faith? It seems to say this to me. Does it to you? But even more importantly is who I have faith in - JESUS, WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HEAL.

    Matthew 8:5-13 WHEN MY BELIEF AND HIS AUTHORITY COLLIDE! The first person that Jesus heals as recorded in Matthew was an outcast - a person with leprosy and Jesus told him to keep it a secret. The second person is someone of low social status - a servant. These are people who are the forgotten ...read more

     | 2,137 views

    As of March 2022, 42 percent of pastors had considered leaving full-time ministry within the previous year (BARNA Group Survey). Also, only 30% of the leaders in the Bible finished well. This means that 70% fell short of God’s plan for their lives. Our lights must definitely shine at the peak.

    LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AT THE PEAK "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? (Ezekiel 15:2) Jesus disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. ...read more

    In a culture where the lines of right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, how and who determines what is the standard for what is true and what is false?

We have music critics, art critics, drama critics and movies critics. Politicians, athletes, teachers and preachers are critiqued. We critique ...read more
