    My life will on occasion have an orbit like Mercury that for a time simply defies my best efforts to explain it. Nonetheless as surely as there is order in the universe, there is a heavenly reason for my circumstances utterly consistent with God's Word an

    Matthew 28:16&17 The power of doubt Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.

    Everyone life needs a turning point. Abraham found his when he chose to believe the promise of God. He just believed and was counted as set-right-with-God.

    Your Turning Point I want to share a very simple yet very powerful message for your life tonight. It does not matter where you find yourself in life. It does not matter where you have been or what you have done in life. It does not matter what mistakes that you have made in the past. It does ...read more

    After having learned who we are in christ in the first three chapters now we know right belief. Paul begins the last three chapters of Ephesians with right behavior. It begins with unity and leads to maturity.

    Intro: Bruce Howell tells of “I Can’t Change Jesus” Bill Irwin, a man who is blind, has a talking computer he uses to study the Bible. He’s had a few chuckles over some of the pronunciations.

    In Mark 9 Jesus’ disciples could not cast a demon out of a young boy. What was Jesus explanation as to why? Pray!

    Take Action Today! When I read the Bible- like to personalize the Bible. What does God want me to take away from- verses. Often when I read- underline/circle action words. How do those words affect my life? Is there action I need to take in response? This morning-share-verses I read recently-Mk ...read more

    I gleaned this from a book by RC Sproul by the same title "12 Promises Christians struggle with". The question is Do we believe God or Not?

    He Overcame John 16:33ff One of the main reasons we have a problems accepting the promises of God is SIN. Sin comes so naturally to us that our default position is not to believe God. Adam and Eve failed to believe God, when the Father of lies told them “You will surely not die, you ...read more

    In depth explanation of the biblical text and a reflection of what it means for us today

    What a day it turned out to be, in fact what a life changing and challenging week it had been.

     | 7,685 views

    Through our belief and faithful witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, we can influence this community to have life in Jesus name.

    What is our motto, our slogan, at St. Thomas? A Believing Church in an Doubting World. From the very beginning, God called His people to believe, to be faithful, to trust Him. God told Noah to build an ark; and he believed Him and was saved. He told Abram that he’d give him the land of Canaan ...read more

    It's amazing how quickly we settle for less that what is promised and possible. So what do we do with Jesus' outlandish promises about power for living?

    “Setting Troubled Hearts at Rest: Power for the Future” John 14:7-14 In one of Charles Schultz's ‘Peanuts’ cartoons Snoopy, the hound of heaven, says of Woodstock, that would-be bird of paradise, "Someday Woodstock is going to be a great eagle." Then in the next frame he ...read more

    The Gospel message of salvation is simple. Believe and confess that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved. Why do we make it so complex?

    Believe and Confess – A Sermon on Romans 10:9 Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ in unity with the Holy Spirit. We human beings have a knack for making even simple things complex. Someone that we work with says “Good morning” to us and ...read more

    God give us a word of peace to prepare our spirits, to acknowledge our pain in prayer, to believe God's promise and covenant, to accept God's provisions as his gift to the world, and to know that God's plan is for us to have His peace.

    It is possible to believe in Jesus without actually following Jesus. We need to be sure we know which category we fit in.

    Maybe there was a time in your life when you were walking on water on a regular basis – a time when your heart was much like Peter’s: “command me. Tell me to come to you.” Or perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve got out of the boat – but the Lord is pa
