"Did His Feet Smell That Bad?"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 16, 2010

John 12 brings us a perplexing situation. Is Jesus giving the green light to personal jets for evangelists who preach the prosperity gospel? Or is there another point altogether?

John 12:1-8 “Did His Feet Smell that Bad?” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I must admit, this can be a very perplexing passage of Scripture. Wouldn’t it just be easier to ignore it? Of course, if we ignore it… …we loose the incredible insight ...read more

We Were Formed For Fellowship

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2013

How did God design us? He wants us to gather together in faithful fellowship groups that lead us to the fullness of Christ. Our friendships will impact us for faith or not. We must make choices of fellowship on purpose.

We were formed for fellowship. When God created Adam the Bible tells us that God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18. This was the first time that, after God created anything, he looked at it and said that it is NOT good. ...read more
