Harmless

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 12, 2010

The one mark that Christ said would distinguish His followers is the love they have for each other. We have shown a different picture. As a church we must stop hurting each other. We must learn to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Harmless Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Introduction: The one mark that Christ said would distinguish His followers is the love they have for each other (John 13:35). Yet the history ...read more

Going Deeper

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 31, 2010

Holy Spirit: Navigational System

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 9, 2010

Christians have an internal navigational system. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, who lives in us to “guide into all truth” (John 16: 13). If you need direction as to where to set the course of your life, don’t rely on your own way. Use God’s VOR system. He wi

My Spirit Rejoices

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary as we often see her portrayed in paintings. The Mary who is speaking here is ...read more

What Are You Willing To Pay?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 7, 2012

As believers we are called to discipleship that is to be an ever growing closer walk and relationship with Christ. But following Christ, being a disciple, comes at a cost. The question is “What are you willing to pay to follow Christ?”
