     | 3,765 views

    The sermon​ looks at Luke's Parable of the weddings guests who compete for the best seat​ at the table. Jesus makes it clear that everyone should be invited (poor, lame etc.), not just the rich and powerful. Such is the kingdom.

    Everyone’s Invited To The Reception Intro If you've lived through a wedding you know, they are of all things most stressful. What few people realize is how stressful weddings are for the clergy. Although we will never say it with parishioners around, when clergy get together, we inevitably ...read more

    During this incredible event two things are certain: Jesus performs His first miracle to reveal His glory, and, His disciples put their faith in Him. Would we respond by following Christ if we were there too?

    The birth of Jesus is a tiny part of the plan of salvation and yet it is a gigantic step in that it accomplishes the incarnation. Have we gotten the priorities reversed in the church as well as in society?

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

  • Ok God, What Do You Want From Me?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 20, 2025
     | 298 views

    Religion can sometimes be seen as a system of laws or rules designed to please God, but that is not what God wants. God wants a loving relationship with His Children, and that we follow His commands because we Love Him! Micah 6 and Galatians 5 help us to see the difference between Love and Legalism.

    Good Morning. This morning, we have 2 excellent lessons intended to guide God’s people back on track from bad mindsets. Micah 6 begins in a heavenly courtroom. All of creation, the mountains and hills, are poetically called in as a jury to witnesses God’s case against His people. Israel has lost ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,598 views

    Like John, we should lay aside our pride to serve Christ.

    “The Jews” • The expression is used 71 times in John. • Most commonly it refers to the Jewish leaders, especially those of Jerusalem and Judea (as here in 1:19), and usually they are cast as those who actively oppose Jesus, fail to understand Him, and who finally seek His death. • Not all Jewish ...read more

    "While on a South Pole expedition, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton left a few men on Elephant Island, promising that he would return.

     | 10,468 views

    The parable of the Good Samaritan is probably the best-known story. I have read where some consider it the greatest story ever told.

    Judea Lesson: Lawyer Hears the Story of the Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 The lesson today is one of the parables that characterize the gospel of Luke.

    This was the first. This was when His ministry is launched into the public eye and this miracle changed the course of His ministry and nothing would ever be the same again

    “Transformed!” John 2:1-11 So, it’s good when you start, to start at the beginning. The miracle we just observed is the famous miracle at the wedding of Cana. The changing of the water to wine.
