We live in an increasingly impatient world; we want and expect everything NOW, just like spoiled children. I was like that on Thursday afternoon when I was in a huge hurry ...read more

    Jesus has come back to Capernaum and is in the house of Peter, where He is quickly surrounded by people desperate for His Word. One man had four friends who were desperate to get their friend to Jesus. How desperate are we?

    Way back in the 90s, I had to preach the funeral of a man I never met. The funeral home called and asked if I would perform the service since I was the pastor of the church, where he was to be buried.
