    Sin: Keeping Up Appearances

    Are we more concerned about appearing Christian than we are with being a Christian. How far will we go to keep a Christian reputation and hide our sin?

    A rather pompous deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more

    Instead of worrying so much about the future, we should concentrate on living a life in Christ that begins with what we believe.

    Theme: Paul reminds the congregation of what God has done for them through Jesus Christ and urges the people to put both their present and future hope, despite death, in an eternal future with Christ. As he exhorts them to comfort one another with this hope using apocalyptic imagery, one is left ...read more

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more

    A study of 5 people in Jesus’ genealogy who had tainted reputations illustrates that none of us have to be chained to our past.

    THERE’S A BLACK SHEEP IN THE FAMILY TREE I recently became interested in family genealogy. I found some ancestors who intrigue me, like the civil war veterans and the Baptist preacher who was shot in the back during the Civil War.
