Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

Are You On The Way Or In The Way?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 5, 2022

Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as "The Way," which some have surmised comes from the book of Isaiah, where it was prophesied, "prepare the way of the Lord" (Isaiah 40:3).

"The Way" is how Jesus referred to Himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 ESV). Throughout the book of Acts, people who were followers of Jesus were not called Christians but considered "a sect of the ...read more

A Welcome Change In Government Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022

Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more
