    What's Going On Around Here?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013
     | 6,972 views

    In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

    Our lectionary passages this morning concern radical change, perhaps none more radical that Peter's vision in the 11th chapter of Acts. Most of us don't give much thought to what we eat and, if we do, our concern is more with calories than holiness. We don't consider food groups to be "clean" or ...read more

    To show that we have an audience of 1 - the LORD. It's better to get applause from the LORD than from men.

    Feelings are real – we truly experience them. We don’t imagine them and God has created us with the capacity for an incredibly wide range of emotions and feelings. If we regularly read the Bible and think about God’s promises, our faith will increase.

    Faith is more than a feeling How do you feel right now? Have you ever thought about how many emotions and feelings we can have? Do you find it easy to express emotions? For example do you often watch a movie and find yourself crying tears of joy or sadness. Be honest, when you watched the film ...read more

     | 909 views

    The goal of service is not to seek numbers or results but to build one another up in faith for His glory, not our own. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and let our good deeds point to the Father, He may become greater, and I become less (John 3:30) for His honor and glory, amen.
