    Scripture says all Christians are priests. How does understanding the Old Testament priesthood help us be better servants of God?

    OPEN: An old lady had always wanted to travel abroad. Now that she was getting on in years, she thought she would really like to do so before she died. But until now, she’d never even been out of the country. So she began by going in person to the Passport Office and asking how long it would take ...read more

    God twice asks Elijah, "What are you doing here?" This is a good question for us to be asking ourselves - why have we come into the presence of God... even if, like Elijah, we are suffering from burn-out and trying to escape the craziness of life.

    What Are You Doing Here? 1 Kings 19:1-15 One of my new favorite devotional books is titled: An Eclectic Almanac for the Faithful. And I have to admit, I only picked it up at first because of its intriguing title. However, it has become a storehouse of prayer fodder and ideas for contemplation. ...read more

    Jesus’ Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

    Before we begin this morning I would like to share a little story with you. A pastor was preaching in an unfamiliar church one Sunday morning.

    Nurturing Your Next Pastor

    Shortly before welcoming a new minister, a seasoned minister and friend of the congregation might come and help prepare the church for this new chapter in their history, explaining the role of ministry and how to care for their pastor.

    It will be exciting to welcome your new Pastor! How you view pastoral ministry has been influenced by all the ministers you’ve known. We see ministry through the lens of past experiences, good and bad. Hopefully we see ministry through the teachings of Scripture. My aim is to offer some advice ...read more

    Has the falling away happened yet? Nov. 10th 2013 Introduction A Watching the world go to hell in a hat basket is depressing.

    16. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 45 views

    We look into the church at Thyatira in more detail to see how wicked it really was. That church parallels the Parable of the Leaven. It also represents the period of Church History with the development of the Roman Catholic Church that grew out of the Pergamum church.

    16. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 3 NOW WHERE IS THIS PARABLE LEADING US? We have seen in the first three parables of the kingdom that each parable associates itself with one of the churches of Asia Minor to whom John wrote, and also, that each parable associates with ...read more

    The Holy Ghost has the power to sweep up the shards and make from this mess a magnificent mosaic of Christ.

    Fourteenth Sunday in Course: Extraordinary Lectionary The Church is in a “time that tries men's souls,” and it is not God who has put us in this trial by fire.

    Here’s the truth, whether we want to recognize it or not: we’re in a battle. When we choose Jesus Christ, we’re not choosing the easy path in life. Our foes are worse than any of those in human battles: we’re battling “spiritual forces of evil”. Our foe i
