    The important thing is not to have just one image of Jesus. This would hardly do him justice. It would be the same as our parents showing their friend only one photograph of us.

    The miracle greater than walking on water is that Jesus lifts us up during our time of need.

    I’m sure some are asking “why did he select this passage for such a time as this?” and understandably so. If you think it’s true that Jesus walked on water, you’re right. If you think the miracle stops there, you’re wrong. Most people refer to this passage as where Jesus Walked on Water. And it ...read more

    It is not enough that Christians work in the vineyard of the Lord but also what motivates us to do that work.

    WHAT IS THE MOTIVE FOR YOUR SERVICE? “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10 Labor, or work, is ordained by God.

    Do Jesus's family values match ours?

    We often talk about the Church being a Family - which sounds all sweet and fluffy … until we read a passage like today’s Gospel. Given a choice between those who share his genes and those who share his faith, Jesus says “Here [point to congregation] are my mother, my sisters, my ...read more
