When Jesus Comes, Peace

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019

It is a bit audacious to talk about peace on earth in our world today, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace gives us hope.

It’s a bit audacious to talk about peace, even on Christmas day, here in the year 2005, or any year, for that matter. Internationally, we have 160,000 of our troops stationed in Iraq, in harm’s way and far away from home, for Christmas this year. And the protests by the Sunnis against the recent ...read more

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Nov 28, 2002

The Post-Easter Appearances of Christ challenge us to take our faith-walk to a different level.

Coming Home On Father's Day

Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 11, 2002

Father’s Day is a day to honor our father, our Heavenly Father. Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son is a pure reflection of a loving father and what it means to come home on Father’s Day.

Dads, today is our day, but Father’s Day has somehow never been held in as high regard as Mother’s Day. Mother’s just have that certain something. After all, whenever you see someone holding a sign or mouthing “hello,” they’re saying, “Hi, Mom,” and usually not, “Hi Dad.” Now, I’m not complaining, ...read more

We sometimes read the Scriptures at its surface level. It isn’t until we dig in and study that we find the riches hidden there. The Scripture where the Parisee invites Jesus to a Sabbath meal is rich in wisdom if we just search for it.

Sermon: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner Scripture: Luke 14: 1-14 Good morning… Once there was a dinner speaker who was in such a hurry to get to his engagement that when he arrived and sat down at the head table, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his false teeth.
